Bill > HB2494

This bill requires high school students in West Virginia to pass a test on the United States Constitution as a graduation requirement.

High school students will have multiple opportunities to retake the test until they achieve the necessary passing score, with the goal of ensuring that graduating seniors have a strong understanding of the U.S. Constitution. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2023.
