The bill amends the existing law that allows school districts in Michigan to award high school diplomas to World War II and Korean conflict veterans. It expands the eligibility criteria to include women who supported the war effort during World War II but did not complete their high school education. The new legal language specifies that school boards can award diplomas to women who left high school to join the workforce or the war effort between December 16, 1940, and December 31, 1946, provided they did not graduate.

Additionally, the bill outlines the application process for these diplomas, stating that applications can be submitted by the women themselves or by designated family members, such as spouses, siblings, or children. This amendment aims to recognize and honor the contributions of women during the war by providing them with the opportunity to receive a high school diploma they were unable to obtain at the time.
