Summary

The bill would have mandated that every public school give the EXPLORE pre‑ACT test to all eighth‑graders and either the PLAN pre‑ACT test or the PSAT to all tenth‑graders beginning in the 2026‑27 school year. Test results would be used by counselors and teachers to guide course selection, college and workforce planning, and to lower the need for remedial courses. Funding was to come from existing at‑risk education funds, and the state education department would track and report on outcomes.
