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

SB 625 requires Texas public high schools to include a mandatory half-credit in either personal financial literacy or economics as part of students' social studies graduation requirements. This applies to all students entering ninth grade in the 2025-2026 school year or later. The bill amends existing education code to specify that students must complete at least one-half credit in government and one-half credit in either economics or personal financial literacy. The policy directly affects all Texas public high school students entering 9th grade starting in 2025-2026, with implementation beginning that school year.
