An Act expanding high school student access to earn industry recognized credentials
Reporting date extended to Friday July 31, 2026
Summary
The legislation directs the state’s labor agency to identify high‑need jobs and gives school districts money for every student who earns a recognized certification in those fields. Awards are higher for certifications tied to high‑value occupations or college credit, and districts must use most of the money to support the school’s certification program, especially for low‑income learners.
