Bill Alert HB 1285
Making financial education instruction a graduation requirement in public schools.
Beginning with the graduating class of 2031, each student must meet the high school state financial education learning standards to graduate from high school.
Beginning in or before the 2027-28 school year, each school district must provide their high school students with instruction in the state financial education learning standards. School
districts, beginning no later than the 2027-28 school year, must also publicize the offering of financial education instruction, and the associated graduation requirement, to students and their parents or legal guardians.
The instructional offering and graduation requirement provisions apply to charter schools and state-tribal education compact schools to the same extent as school districts.
