relative to the definition of the term "evidence-based" within public education.

HB 129 aimed to establish a formal definition for the term "evidence-based" within public education standards. It would have directly affected schools, educators, and curriculum developers by clarifying what qualifies as "evidence-based" instructional methods or materials. The bill proposed specific criteria for this definition but did not introduce new funding or mandates. The committee voted 25-0 to table the bill as "inexpedient to legislate," meaning it was not advanced further. No policy changes were enacted through this bill.
