Public institutions of higher education; authorized to accept the Classic Learning Test to the same extent as the American College Test and the Scholastic Aptitude Test

This bill allows public universities in Alabama to accept Classic Learning Test (CLT) scores for college admissions, treating them the same as SAT and ACT scores. It gives the Alabama Commission on Higher Education and individual university boards the authority to decide how CLT scores can be used to demonstrate college readiness and meet admissions requirements. The law would take effect on June 1, 2026, expanding the testing options available to prospective students without changing existing admissions standards.
