This bill updates references to the governing board for South Dakota's technical institutes, replacing the old name "Board of Education Standards" with the new name "Board of Technical Education" throughout state law. The bill also clarifies that general education course credits earned at technical institutes can transfer to universities under the Board of Regents, and vice versa, as long as they meet accreditation standards. Additionally, it maintains the National Guard tuition benefit for eligible South Dakota residents attending technical institute programs.
