The bill modifies the responsibilities of school district boards of trustees in Wyoming regarding access to post-secondary education for high school students. Specifically, it mandates that these boards, in collaboration with the University of Wyoming and accredited community colleges or other post-secondary institutions, ensure that eligible students have access to a minimum of twelve (12) post-secondary credit hours. This access must be provided to the greatest extent reasonably possible, which includes ensuring that students can complete these credit hours during grades nine through twelve.

Additionally, the bill removes the term "reasonably" from the previous language, emphasizing a stronger commitment to accessibility. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2023.
