Rep. Jack O’Malley actualities on committee passage of personal finance high school graduation requirement
Rep. O’Malley talks about House Bill 5190, which would modify the Michigan Merit Curriculum to include successful completion of a half-credit course in personal finance as a graduation requirement. Currently, students must take two full credits of a language other than English to graduate. The bill would adjust this requirement to 1½ credits in conjunction with the new half-credit requirement for personal finance. The measure has been approved by the House Education Committee, on which Rep. O’Malley serves, and is now before the full House.
