Bill summary

House amendment to the 2nd edition makes the following changes.

Alters the makeup of the Standard Course of Study Advisory Committee in the new GS 115C-81.6 as follows: Lowers the number of members appointed by the General Assembly upon recommendation of the President Pro Tempore of the Senate in subsection (c) from eight to six, eliminating the member of the business community and member at-large. Makes an identical change, lowering from eight to six and removing the same two members, to the appointees based upon recommendation of the Speaker of the House. 

Adds six members appointed by the Governor, which must consist of two members of the business community and four at-large members. 

Alters the language in subsection (d) to clarify that all appointing authorities are encouraged to select citizens as outlined by that section, replacing a reference to the General Assembly due to the change allowing appointment by the Governor. Makes a similar change to the process for filling vacancies, requiring the appointing authority to apply the same criteria as provided in subsection (c).
