House committee substitute to the 1st edition removes the content of the previous edition and replaces it with the following study.

Requires the North Carolina Collaboratory to study the viability of including Classical Learning Test scores as a part of an admission application or scholarship award to a UNC constituent institution. Requires getting input from UNC and the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal. Sets out five issues the study must address, including: (1) whether an applicant’s cope on the Classical Learning Test serves the purpose of aiding constituent institutions in determining (a) an applicant’s qualifications for undergraduate admission and (b) an applicant's qualifications for award of scholarships funded with State funds and administered by an entity of UNC; (2) whether an applicant’s performance on the Classical Learning Test is predictive of college success; and (3) whether a score on the Classical Learning Test can be deemed concordant with an SAT or ACT score such that UNC can use the applicant’s Test core interchangeably with a SAT/ACT score when setting minimum admission and scholarship requirements. Requires a final report to the specified NCGA committee by December 15, 2025. Changes the act's long title.
