SB 6560 - DIGEST

Establishes the GED fairness act.

Declares an intent to ensure that adults who want to earn a high school equivalency certificate have access to a test option that is appropriate, low cost, and flexible.

Requires the state board for community and technical colleges to identify: (1) At least two test options, at least one of which is low cost to the student and at least one test option that does not require computer proficiency and is fairly normed to the actual academic ability of current high school seniors, such that at least sixty percent of high school seniors can pass the high school equivalency test; and

(2) At least one test option that is appropriate for students who have been in the workforce, need a high school diploma for employment reasons, have been incarcerated, or were in the military.
