House Bill 1838 would let freshmen retake career-readiness assessment; advances from subcommittee
Summary
House Bill 1838, amended in committee, would allow freshmen to take retakes of career-readiness assessments. The subcommittee adopted amendment 13949 and voted 7–0 to send the bill to full education.
Chairman Hastings introduced House Bill 1838 and the committee adopted amendment 13949 without recorded objection. The sponsor summarized the change: "This bill would simply allow for freshmen... to be able to do retakes." Members offered no substantive questions and the clerk recorded a unanimous 7–0 vote to advance the bill to full education.
The change expands the student population eligible to retake career-readiness assessments, which the sponsor said would open the window for a greater number of students to complete the test requirement. The transcript does not record details about which specific assessments are covered; reporters should consult the bill text for precise testing definitions and implementation timelines.
