The bill amends the New Economy Technology Scholarship Act to revise the deadline for the required annual report on the science and technology scholarship program. It changes the reporting date from a fixed annual schedule starting in 2000 to no later than September 1 after the end of the fiscal year in which program funds were allocated. The change is purely administrative and does not alter program eligibility, funding, or operations.

The governor or the President signs the bill, vetoes it, or lets it become law without a signature. A legislature can also override a veto and enact the bill anyway.
