Eliminates fees for receiving a copy of a high school equivalency diploma

This bill removes all costs for individuals to receive copies of their high school equivalency diploma or official transcript. By amending the Education Law, it ensures that no fees can be charged for either taking the General Education Development exam or obtaining proof of passing it. The change directly benefits students and job seekers who need these documents without creating a financial barrier. The legislation will become effective 30 days after it is officially signed into law.
