Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a school board may grant a high school diploma to a pupil
only if the pupil meets specific statutory requirements, including earning a certain
number of credits in various subjects in the high school grades. Beginning with
pupils graduating in 2028, this bill requires that, to graduate high school, a pupil
must earn at least one-half credit of personal financial literacy that includes
financial mindset, education and employment, money management, saving and
investing, credit and debt, and risk management and insurance.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
