The proposed bill establishes a voluntary state statistics literacy graduation seal for high school students in Minnesota, recognizing those who demonstrate proficiency in statistics and data interpretation. To qualify for the seal, students must achieve a qualifying score on an assessment adopted by their school and meet all related standards or credit requirements. School districts and charter schools are required to maintain records of eligible students and must notate the seal on their transcripts and diplomas without charging any fees.

Additionally, the bill mandates that by August 1, 2027, the commissioner of education will identify assessments aligned with national guidelines for statistics education to determine student proficiency. Furthermore, by August 1, 2028, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system must establish criteria to translate the statistics literacy seals into college credits, allowing students to request credit for their seal within three years of high school graduation. The University of Minnesota is also encouraged to align its credit-awarding practices with this initiative. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026.
