The bill revises laws regarding student employment for high school credit, allowing 11th and 12th grade students in public and nonpublic schools to earn elective credits toward graduation through paid or voluntary work in specific care settings, including congregate-care facilities, child-care facilities, and school-age programs. Students can earn one elective credit for every 250 hours worked, with a maximum of two credits available. Schools are required to develop a written application process for students seeking credit, which must include details about the student's employment and the supervising individual.

Additionally, the bill allows schools to impose conditions and requirements on the type of work performed to qualify for credit. It establishes a framework for schools to verify the number of hours worked and sets deadlines for application submissions. The definitions of relevant terms, such as "child-care facility," "congregate-care facility," and "school-age program," are also provided to clarify the scope of the bill. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
