This bill amends Title 33 of the Idaho Code by adding a new Chapter 68, which establishes high school graduation requirements for Idaho public schools. It mandates that students must earn a total of forty-six credits, including twenty-nine credits in core subjects, to be eligible for graduation. Additionally, students are required to demonstrate college or career readiness by completing a senior project. The bill also defines key terms related to education, such as "Idaho content standards," "Idaho public high school," and various types of courses, including advanced placement and dual credit courses.

The legislation outlines specific credit requirements across various subjects, including language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, humanities, health and wellness, and computer science. It allows local education agencies to establish additional graduation requirements and provides provisions for middle school students, special education students, and foreign exchange students regarding their eligibility for graduation. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
