Education: curriculum; personal finance requirement; modify. Amends secs. 1278a & 1278b of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1278a & 380.1278b).

This bill modifies Michigan's high school graduation requirements by mandating that students complete a half-credit course in personal finance to earn a diploma. Starting with the class entering eighth grade in 2023, schools must offer this course, which can count toward existing math, arts, or foreign language credits. The legislation allows the personal finance class to be fulfilled through traditional coursework or approved career and technical education programs. These changes directly affect public school districts and academies by updating the specific academic standards students must meet before graduating.
