This 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 tasked with studying current statutory requirements, flexible ways for students to demonstrate readiness for college and careers, teacher licensure requirements, and alignment with workforce needs. The study group is required to submit 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 work of the study group, with a specific allocation for the Legislative Coordinating Commission to facilitate its operations. The Department of Education is mandated to provide timely information and support to the group, which will also consult with stakeholders during its deliberations. The study group is set to expire on December 31, 2026, or upon submission of its final report, whichever is later.
