What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a school board may grant a high school diploma to a pupil

only if the pupil meets specific statutory requirements, including earning a certain

number of credits in various subjects in the high school grades. This bill provides

that, in order to graduate, a pupil also must earn at least one credit of personal

financial literacy that includes financial mindset, education and employment,

money management, saving and investing, credit and debt, and risk management

and insurance.
