MODERATE
The bill was amended from its original version to remove the repeal date for the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (previously set for July 1, 2028) and to streamline the bill text by removing Section 1 entirely. The core requirements regarding training modules for military children's education transitions remain unchanged.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing the repeal provision for the Interstate Compact, meaning the Compact will remain in effect beyond the originally scheduled repeal date unless the Legislature acts to save it.
TIMELINE

Removed the repeal date of July 1, 2028 for the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, allowing it to remain in effect unless the Legislature reviews and saves it.

Changed the bill title from 'Educational Opportunities for Military Children' to 'Educational Opportunities for Military Children' with updated metadata and formatting.
