Concerning career and technical education in sixth grade.
Senate Bill 5358 addresses career and technical education (CTE) for sixth-grade students. The bill modifies existing state law concerning the allocation of funding for basic education, specifically related to CTE programs. It aims to integrate sixth grade into the scope of CTE provisions, allowing school districts to offer these programs to younger students. This change could expand early exposure to career-focused learning for sixth-grade students.

MINOR
The primary change is the addition of a formal certification page confirming that the bill has passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This transforms the document from a draft version into an official enrolled bill ready for the Governor's signature. No substantive policy, funding, or eligibility changes were made.
TECHNICAL
Added a 'Certification of Enrollment' section with vote counts and signatures from legislative officers to officially certify the bill's passage.
Removed the 'S-2015.1' bill identifier, which is specific to the draft version and is no longer needed for the enrolled bill.
