Summary

The bill directs the State Board of Education to create a financial‑literacy graduation requirement and allows county boards to choose the curriculum and materials. Beginning with the 2030 graduating class, every public high‑school student must finish a one‑semester, standalone personal finance course and will receive at least half a credit toward their diploma. That credit can be combined with existing courses to satisfy any remaining credit needed for graduation.
