Maryland SB592 establishes a financial literacy graduation requirement for high school students.

Maryland SB592 mandates that each high school student successfully complete a personal financial literacy course to graduate, beginning with the class of 2030. The course must meet state standards, be at least a semester in length, and be taught in grades 9-12 as a standalone course. County boards can determine the curriculum, instructional materials, and placement of the course. Upon successful completion, students receive credit and can fulfill remaining credit requirements through existing courses.
