Senate Bill No. 1287 mandates the Department of Education to conduct a study on schools within the state and submit a report of the findings to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by May 20, 2025. This new requirement is established under the newly inserted legal language in Section 1, which takes effect upon passage. The bill does not include any deletions from current law.

The fiscal impact of the bill is assessed to be none, as the State Department of Education is expected to fulfill the study's requirements using existing resources. The bill received a favorable report from the Education Committee, with a vote of 30 in favor and 10 against.
