MINOR

The bill was amended to update the version number and author information, and to clarify the recipients of required annual reports. The changes specify that reports must now be sent to the 'board of education' rather than just the 'board,' ensuring the educational board is explicitly included in the decision-making loop for school facility planning.

Scope change

The scope of the reporting requirement was clarified to explicitly include the board of education as a recipient, alongside the legislature, governor, and superintendent.

REQUIREMENT

The required annual report recipients were updated to explicitly name the 'board of education' instead of just the 'board' to ensure clarity on who must receive the data.

TECHNICAL

Administrative metadata including the bill version, author name, and document revision numbers were updated to reflect the second hearing (HD2).
