RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 530 (SB 475) 2024 Regular Session Owen
Existing law provides for the career major program through which high school students
complete both an academic core of courses and a career and technical sequence of courses
or training programs that lead to an approved industry-based credential.
Existing law provides a specific high school curriculum for the career major, including at
least two credits in Health and Physical Education, one-half credit of which must be Health
Education.
New law retains existing law and existing agency rule but adds an exception from the Health
Education requirement for a student that is required to enroll in a physical education course
for at least two consecutive school years.
New law prohibits the State Bd. of Elementary and Secondary Education from enforcing a
rule or policy that is contrary to new law.
Effective June 10, 2024.
