Senate amendment amends the 1st edition as follows. 

Directs the Division of Child Development and Early Education (Division) to implement the following when resuming ERS assessments: though June 30, 2023 (was, through June 30, 2027), and expiring June 30, 2023 (was, expiring June 30, 2027) lowering the 75% threshold to 50% for the percentage of lead teachers in the program required to meet the "rated licensed education requirements" criteria to earn quality rating improvement system (QRIS) "education points" towards a licensed facility's star rating. No longer requires the Division to recognize early childhood educators currently enrolled in accredited early childhood education programs working toward an associate degree or a bachelor's or master's degree in early childhood education by awarding one QRIS "education point" for every two staff members enrolled at the time of the assessment to the licensed care facility's cumulative final "education points" earned after all staff members in the program are assessed. 

Adds the following content. Directs the Division to submit a report to the specified NCGA committee by March 30, 2023, with eight specified data points, including the number of new high school Early Childhood Career and Technical Pathways programs across the State between June 30, 2021, and January, 31, 2023, and the number of community college and university course that allow college credits for taking online health, safety, and nutrition training modules between June 30, 2021, and January 31, 2023.
