All high schoolers may soon have to pass a financial literacy course to graduate.
Representative Michael Meredith recently filed House Bill 342 in the Kentucky General Assembly that builds on measures passed in 2019 and 2020 that require financial literacy education in high schools.
Under this bill, all students who enter high school after the summer of 2025 will be required to take a one-credit course in financial literacy during either their eleventh or twelfth-grade year.
The course must at minimum cover the following topics — budgeting, saving and investing, credit and debit, insurance and risk management, and taxes.
As of Feb. 7, House Bill 324 has been assigned to the House Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Education for further discussion.
