2014 House Bill 5793 ↩

Senate Roll Call 574: Passed

To extend for another year (through 2021) an exception to the the foreign language requirement in the state’s graduation requirements that allows students to instead meet this with career and technical education" classes or more arts classes. Also, to clarify that the foreign language requirement only applies to students who entered 3rd grade in 2006 or later or later (a cohort who generally would graduate in 2016). Reportedly this is to correct an error in a law enacted <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2013-HB-4465">earlier in 2014</a> that lowered some of the graduation standards.
