AI Summary
This bill requires legislative approval for any updates or revisions to the core curriculum content standards, which are the educational guidelines ensuring all students are prepared for citizenship and the job market. Currently, the State Board of Education is responsible for reviewing and updating these standards every five years. However, under this bill, any changes made after its effective date must be submitted to the Legislature. The Legislature then has 45 days to approve or reject these changes through a concurrent resolution, a formal expression of opinion by both the Senate and General Assembly. If the Legislature approves the changes, they will be implemented; if they disapprove, the changes will not be put into effect.
