Current law requires this credit to be "trigonometry, statistics, precalculus, calculus, applied math, accounting, business math, or a retake of algebra II".
The substitute passed by voice vote

To eliminate a tie-bar to House Bill 6247, meaning this bill could not become law unless that one does also. HB 6247 would revise procedures for a student in 10th grade to have the new high school curriculum and graduation requirements waived.
