            Senate Bill 1063 amends the Education Code to revise the foundation high school program curriculum requirements in social studies to provide, as an alternative to one‑half credit in economics, the option to complete one‑half credit in personal financial literacy and economics, of which one‑third of instruction time is allocated to economics and two‑thirds to personal financial literacy. The bill requires the Texas Education Agency to develop a list of free, open‑source, and publicly available curricula that may be used to provide the course and to seek, accept, and spend any federal or private grant funds and gifts that are available for that purpose.
