Summary

The bill adds a mandatory civics curriculum for all public and non‑public schools, beginning by eighth grade, and requires a one‑semester high‑school civics course. Students must pass a civics test modeled on the U.S. naturalization exam to earn the credit, unless they have an IEP exemption or are in the military. It also directs the state board to align curriculum standards and assessments with the naturalization test content.
