The bill enacts the Career Readiness Education Development Innovation Transferability (CREDIT) Act, which mandates that high schools in Kansas administer career readiness assessments to students prior to graduation. These assessments are intended to provide students with nationally recognized work readiness certificates, such as the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate, and may include other similar assessments. The bill emphasizes the importance of recognizing career and technical education pathways as equally significant to traditional academic routes, aiming to level the playing field for students pursuing these alternatives.

Additionally, the bill requires postsecondary educational institutions to adopt policies that allow for the transferability of credentials earned through these assessments toward the attainment of a postsecondary technical degree. This transferability is to be based on recommendations from the American Council on Education National Guide. The state board of education is tasked with creating necessary rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the act effectively.
