The bill establishes the Adult Alternative Instructional Diploma Program in Idaho, aimed at assisting adults aged 21 and older in obtaining a high school diploma and developing employability and career technical skills. It introduces a new section, 33-143, to define key terms such as "accredited," "career pathways coursework," and "qualified provider," and outlines the criteria for approval of providers who can offer this program. Qualified providers must meet specific standards, including regional accreditation, experience in adult dropout recovery services, and a minimum graduation rate. The state board of education will reimburse these providers for each credit of high school instruction completed by students and will require them to report various data outcomes to ensure accountability.

Additionally, the bill creates the Adult Alternative Instructional Diploma Program Fund, as outlined in a new section, 33-919, which will be used to support the pilot program for issuing accredited high school diplomas to eligible adults. The fund will consist of legislative appropriations and interest earned on its balance, and its use will be subject to legislative appropriation. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
