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. Beginning with

pupils graduating in 2028, this bill requires that, to graduate high school, a pupil

must earn at least one-half 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.
