Modifies the proposed changes to GS 115C-112.5 (concerning the Children with Disabilities Scholarship Grant Program) and GS 115C-591 (concerning personal education savings accounts) to amend eligibility requirements to include children eligible to attend an NC public school pursuant to Article 25 (Admission and Assignment of Students; previously referenced GS 115C-366, Assignment of student to a particular school). Modifies the proposed changes to GS 115C-562.1 (concerning the Scholarship Grant Program) to amend the eligibility requirements to include children eligible to enter either kindergarten or the first grade pursuant to Article 25 (was, children entering either kindergarten or the first grade). Extends eligibility under each statute to include a child who is the age of four on or before April 16 is eligible to attend the following school year if the principal or equivalent finds that the student is gifted and has the maturity to justify admission as provided in GS 115C-364(d), and those findings are submitted to the State Education Assistance Authority with the child's application (provided other eligibility requirements are met; previously did not include a statutory cross reference or provide for submitting findings to the Authority, and instead required a nonpublic school to deem the child to have the maturity to justify admission).
