Summary

The bill would have the State Board of Education insert financial‑literacy topics into the curriculum for students in grades 6 through 8 starting in the 2026‑27 school year. It also would require every public‑school student, including those in charter schools, to pass a half‑carnegie‑unit personal‑finance course to earn a high‑school diploma, beginning with the class of 2031. Funding for the program would come from a dedicated Financial Literacy Trust Fund overseen by the board.
