MODERATE

This bill was amended to add two new sponsors and update several dates and procedural details. The key substantive change is extending the deadline for agencies to submit exit survey data from January 2027 to January 2028, and moving the annual report deadline from March 2028 to March 2029. These changes give agencies more time to implement the new exit survey requirements.

Scope change
