The bill, S.B. No. 1672, aims to enhance the educational curriculum for public high school students in Texas by mandating the inclusion of personal financial literacy instruction. It amends Section 28.002 of the Education Code by adding a new subsection (c-7), which requires the State Board of Education to establish rules that ensure students complete at least one course in high school that meets specific criteria. This course must dedicate at least two-thirds of its instructional time to personal financial literacy.

The implementation of this requirement is set to begin with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
