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 its first meeting 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 mandated to submit a preliminary report by December 15, 2025, and a final report by December 31, 2026, detailing any necessary statutory changes.

Additionally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund to support the operations of the study group, including administrative and technical assistance from the Department of Education and the Legislative Coordinating Commission. The study group is set to expire on December 31, 2026, or upon submission of its final report, whichever occurs later. This initiative aims to enhance the educational framework by ensuring that graduation requirements meet the evolving needs of students and the workforce.
