Requires high school students to pass a personal finance course to graduate.
Mississippi HB1710 mandates that starting with the class of 2032, high school students must pass a one-half (1/2) Carnegie unit course in personal finance to earn a diploma. The course must include instruction on topics such as opening a bank account, balancing a checkbook, managing debt, and understanding personal insurance policies. The bill establishes the Financial Literacy Trust Fund to support this program and requires the State Board of Education to administer the fund.
