An Act relating to civics education, civics assessments, and secondary school graduation requirements; and providing for an effective date.

HB 168 requires Alaska public high schools to implement a standardized civics education curriculum covering 14 specific topics, including U.S. founding documents, government branches, Alaska's constitution, and comparative global government systems. To earn a diploma, students must complete a semester-long civics course, pass a 100-question assessment based on the U.S. citizenship test, and either complete a civics project or provide evidence of prior passing scores. The bill mandates schools to document passing scores on student transcripts and allows limited exemptions for transfer students or those with disabilities. This directly affects all Alaska high school students seeking graduation, with requirements taking effect upon passage.
