The bill amends Section 28.025(b-1) of the Education Code to update the curriculum requirements for high school students in Texas public schools. Specifically, it introduces a requirement for students to successfully complete one credit in economics, world geography, or world history, while removing the previous requirement for economics or personal financial literacy. This change aims to enhance the educational framework by ensuring that students receive a comprehensive understanding of economics as part of their social studies curriculum.

The new requirements will apply to students entering the ninth grade during the 2025-2026 school year or later, while students entering grades above ninth during that school year will follow the previous curriculum requirements. The bill is set to take effect either immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if such a vote is not achieved.
