The bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to introduce a new section that allows students in grades eleven and twelve to earn elective credits toward graduation for their employment at congregate care facilities. Specifically, students can earn one elective credit for every 250 hours worked, with a maximum of two elective credits available. The bill outlines the requirements for students to apply for this credit, including providing information about their employment and the facility, as well as establishing deadlines and conditions for credit approval.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "congregate care facility," which includes long-term care nursing facilities and personal care homes, and clarifies what constitutes a "nonpublic school" and "school entity." The implementation of this act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
