House Bill 999 amends the Education Code to authorize any student who was in 12th grade during the 2020-2021 school year to be awarded a high school diploma on the basis of a review by an individual graduation committee, regardless of whether the student has failed to meet certain end-of-course test performance requirements. The committee, in making its determination, is not required to consider criteria relating to end-of-course test performance that would otherwise apply. The bill's provisions expire September 1, 2022.
