AI Summary
This bill requires all public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to develop and adopt written policies and procedures to accept a score of three, four, or five on all advanced placement (AP) examinations to satisfy degree requirements. The policies must indicate whether the credit shall be granted for general education, major, or elective requirements, and include procedures related to the transferability of these credits to another institution. The bill also requires institutions to post their policies and procedures on their website, submit them to the Department of Higher Education, and have the Board of Higher Education annually review the policies and report its findings to the legislature. The first annual report is due by July 1, 2023, and Section 1 of the bill must take effect within 3 months of the bill's effective date.
