A bill that would require high school students to take a personal finances class in order to graduate in Michigan is now headed to the Governor's desk.

The measure, sponsored by State Representative Ann Bollin is designed to help students learn how to budget, do their taxes, handle decisions about debt and plan for the future.

The class would carry a half credit, with the foreign language credit required to graduate cut to two and a half credits. The bill was passed by the State Senate and House.
