Establishes the Educational Technology Impact Advisory Council

HB 1598 creates the Educational Technology Impact Advisory Council to study how technology affects K-12 education in Missouri. The council, composed of 25 appointed members representing school boards, teachers, parents, special education experts, mental health professionals, and others, will meet quarterly to review technology's impacts on reading, math, special education, student behavior, social interaction, and AI use. It will submit biennial recommendations to state education committees on policy changes, including potential statutory updates. The bill directly affects Missouri public schools by establishing a formal process to evaluate technology's role in learning outcomes and classroom dynamics. This is a procedural bill focused on creating a review mechanism, not implementing immediate policy changes.
