AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Kentucky's postsecondary education laws, primarily by removing outdated definitions and references to previously established committees and councils, such as the "committee," "P-16 council," and "remedial education," which are no longer relevant. It also formally establishes the Commonwealth Education Continuum, outlining its governance, membership, and duties, with administrative support provided by the Council on Postsecondary Education. The bill clarifies that the Board of Student Body Presidents will be attached to the Council on Postsecondary Education for administrative and organizational purposes. Additionally, it adjusts requirements for board of regents meetings, removing the stipulation that they must occur within 30 days of an appointment, and repeals several sections of KRS Chapter 164 that are now obsolete due to these changes.
