An Act establishing a financial literacy education program for public schools; and providing for an effective date.

SB 22 requires Alaska public school districts to establish a financial literacy education program for students in grades 9-12, covering 15 specific topics like budgeting, debt management, taxes, insurance, and retirement planning. The program must be approved by the state education department and completed for high school graduation, with limited exceptions for students transferring after grade 10. It mandates that districts use state-curated open educational resources and ensures the curriculum includes practical financial skills relevant to students' lives. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, applying to students graduating on or after January 1, 2027.
