Summary

The bill makes permanent a rule that every student in the 2023‑24 11th‑grade class and beyond must complete a state‑prescribed financial aid form before being awarded a high school diploma. Parents, guardians, or the student (if 18+) can request a waiver, and school counselors may approve waivers when a parent signature cannot be obtained. Schools must inform families of the requirement and provide instructional resources, but they cannot penalize students for using a waiver.
