AI Summary
This bill amends Minnesota statutes to require a one-credit civics course as a graduation requirement for students beginning 9th grade in the 2024-2025 school year and later. The bill also repeals the existing requirement for students to correctly answer at least 30 out of 50 civics test questions in order to graduate. Instead, the new civics course requirement will satisfy the social studies graduation requirement, which previously included a combination of United States history, geography, government and citizenship, world history, and economics.
