HB 6164 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Education: curriculum; computer science course requirements; modify. Amends sec. 1166c of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1166c).

This bill requires every public high school in Michigan to offer at least one computer science course starting in the 2027-2028 school year. The course must meet state education standards and be listed on the school's catalog, with a preference for in-person instruction unless a school operates entirely virtually. The legislation defines computer science as a field focused on creating new technologies rather than just using them, ensuring the curriculum covers principles, design, and societal impact.
