AI Summary
This bill requires all public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to develop written procedures for accepting certain scores on the College Board's advanced placement (AP) examinations for credit towards degree requirements. The policies must indicate whether credit will be granted for general education, major, or elective requirements, and include procedures related to the transferability of these credits to another institution. The institutions must post their policies and procedures on their websites, and the Board of Higher Education (or the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees) must annually review the policies and report their findings and recommendations to the state legislature. The first annual report is required by July 1, 2021, and Section 1 of the bill must take effect within 3 months of the bill's effective date.
