A report was required on or before January 15, 2023, and on or before January 15, 2024. The bill extends each deadline 2 years, so that a report is required on or before January 15, 2025, and on or before January 15, 2026.

The department of higher education was appropriated $3 million for the student success data system. The bill permits the department to spend the appropriated money through December 31, 2026.
