Vote Yes on this bill if you want financial education to become a statewide graduation requirement, with schools offering standards-aligned instruction by 2029–30, students meeting finance standards starting with the class of 2033 (or earlier as set by the state board), monitoring for compliance, and clear family notification and limited transfer waivers.

Organizations that support this bill may include financial literacy nonprofits, parent-teacher associations, credit unions and community banks, chambers of commerce, workforce development groups, and education reform advocates who want practical life skills taught in high school.

Vote No on this bill if you want to keep financial education optional, avoid a new statewide graduation mandate and state monitoring, leave course and credit decisions to local districts, and prevent potential scheduling and funding pressures on schools.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include school board associations, some educators’ unions or administrators concerned about unfunded mandates, homeschool and parental rights groups, and taxpayer or rural district advocates worried about scheduling and compliance burdens.
