Establishing the West Virginia Collaboratory

The session year was changed from 2026 to 2025, and the bill's origin was updated to reflect it was reported by the Committee on Education.

The requirement for two Advisory Group members to possess a doctoral-level degree was removed, making the position accessible to candidates with lower educational credentials.

Capitalization of the word 'state' was standardized to lowercase, and semicolons were added to the end of list items in the Collaboratory's duties section for grammatical consistency.

Added a mandatory annual report requirement where the Collaboratory must submit a summary of activities and expenditures to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance by December 1 of each year.

Expanded the Advisory Group's duties to include identifying subject matter experts and reviewing all reports and publications for accuracy and objectivity.

Explicitly authorized reimbursement for Advisory Group members for reasonable travel expenses and sums necessary to carry out their responsibilities.

Removed the 'Engrossed Committee Substitute' header and replaced it with the final 'Enrolled' status, including signatures from the Speaker, President, and Governor, along with the official certification of enrollment.
