Department of Education shall develop and implement a geographically representative two-year pilot program to administer reading diagnostic tests that include all components of a normed rapid automatized naming test.

The Department of Education shall report to the Governor and General Assembly on the outcomes of the pilot program and necessary resources for statewide implementation of such tests and instruction.
3. That the provisions of the first enactment of this act shall not become effective unless reenacted by the General Assembly following the conclusion of the two-year pilot program established in the second enactment of this act.
