Relating to courses in personal financial literacy and economics for high school students in public schools.

HB 2008 requires Texas public high school students to complete a course in personal financial literacy or economics as part of their social studies credits. This applies to students entering ninth grade in the 2025-2026 school year or later, replacing the previous requirement for a specific economics course with an option to take financial literacy instead. The bill amends the Education Code to add "personal financial literacy" as a valid credit option within the existing social studies curriculum framework. It directly affects all Texas public high school students under the foundation program requirements starting in 2025-2026.
