To create a West Virginia-Ireland Education Alliance.

The official name of the alliance was shortened from 'West Virginia-Ireland Education Alliance Partnership' to 'West Virginia-Ireland Education Alliance'.

The requirement for exactly five four-year university members and five two-year college members was removed, replaced by a mandate for state institutions to partner with each other.

A new requirement was added stating that a state four-year institution and a state two-year institution must collaborate to be eligible for grant funding.

Grant eligibility is now determined by the Higher Education Policy Commission, and funding is subject to annual legislative appropriation rather than being a fixed total.

The bill text was updated to reflect the new committee substitute version, including changes to the list of sponsoring delegates and the bill's origin.

Removed website navigation links, headers, and footer text from the draft version to create the final enrolled text.

Updated the session date to 2026 and changed the status from 'Engrossed Committee Substitute' to 'Enrolled' with a specific effective date of March 17, 2026.

Corrected formatting inconsistencies in the legislative text, such as line breaks and indentation, to match standard legal code style.

Added certification language requiring the Clerks of the House and Senate to certify the bill is correctly enrolled, along with signature lines for the Speaker, President, and Governor.
