The bill establishes a legislative study group focused on evaluating and recommending changes to graduation credit requirements in Minnesota. The group will consist of eight members, with four appointed from the House of Representatives and four from the Senate, and is required to convene by July 15, 2025. The study group will assess current statutory requirements, explore flexible methods for demonstrating career and college readiness, and ensure alignment with workforce needs. It is tasked with submitting a preliminary report by December 15, 2025, and a final report by December 31, 2026, which will include any necessary statutory changes.

Additionally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund to support the operations of the study group, with a one-time allocation designated for the Legislative Coordinating Commission. The Department of Education is required to provide timely information and support to the study group, which will also consult with stakeholders during its deliberations. The study group will expire on December 31, 2026, or upon submission of its final report, whichever is later.
