AI Summary

This bill directs the Committee on Education to investigate and study various House documents related to curriculum, and to report its findings and any legislative recommendations to the General Court by December 31, 2016. The "General Court" refers to the Massachusetts state legislature, which is bicameral, meaning it has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The "House documents" are proposed pieces of legislation or resolutions that have been introduced in the House of Representatives. The committee's investigation is authorized to occur even when the General Court is not in session, a period known as a "recess."
