The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5148 mandates the Department of Education to conduct a study on schools within the state. The bill requires the department to submit a report detailing the findings of this study to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by May 20, 2026. This initiative aims to enhance understanding and oversight of educational institutions in the state.

The bill introduces new legal language, specifically stating that the study will be conducted and reported as a new section effective from the date of passage. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as it primarily establishes a new requirement for the Department of Education. The overall purpose of the bill is to ensure that the state's educational framework is evaluated and improved based on the findings of the study.
