Legislation requiring students to be taught personal financial skills was passed by the legislature this week. Introduced by Representative Diana Farrington (R-Utica), the plan adds a personal financial course to the required curriculum for Michigan high school students, beginning with students entering eighth grade in 2023. The bill adds the half credit requirement, while reducing the foreign language requirement from two to one and a half credits. The bill will be sent to Governor Gretchen Whitmer for consideration.
