AN ACT relating to education.

SB 173 creates a program through which the Kentucky Board of Education helps certified teachers purchase personal computers at discounted rates. The bill requires the Board to secure the lowest prices via competitive bidding and arrange vendor-provided training on computer use. This directly affects all certified teachers in Kentucky by providing financial assistance and technical support for personal computer purchases. The legislation amends KRS 156.690 to establish this specific teacher support program, with no mention of gender-neutral language in the actual bill text (contrary to the abstract).
