An Act establishing a financial literacy education program for public schools; and providing for an effective date.
HB 90 requires Alaska public schools to implement a financial literacy program for students in grades 9-12, covering 15 specific topics including budgeting, debt management, taxes, insurance, and the financial implications of Alaska Native corporation membership. School districts must provide a program equivalent to half a credit hour that meets these topics, and students must complete it to earn a high school diploma (with exceptions for students transferring after grade 10). The law applies to students graduating on or after January 1, 2027, with implementation beginning July 1, 2026. It mandates that the Department of Education provide a list of approved open educational resources for schools to use.
