If a Texas college gives credit for the exam, nobody can ban the course.
The bill bars any governmental entity or state officer from prohibiting a high school course, or any part of a course, when a Texas accredited college gives credit for passing a CLEP, AP, or IB exam in that subject. It touches school districts, the state education agency and board, state officers, and the students and teachers in those courses. On the ground, state or local officials could no longer block or strip pieces out of AP, IB, or CLEP-linked courses starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
