The bill outlines the history of the institution, detailing its evolution from the Elizabethton School of Business to its eventual closing in 1982. It recognizes the founders, Dr. C.C. Steed and Mollie Marable Steed, and highlights the college's contributions to vocational training and various degree programs it offered in fields such as business administration, computer technology, and engineering.
