The Kansas Senate has passed a bill that would require graduating high school students to pass a civics test. The Senate voted 24-15 for the bill Wednesday.
The House narrowly approved it in early March, but senators made changes that the House must review before the measure can go to Gov. Laura Kelly.
It would require public and private school students to pass a test or series of tests consisting of 60 randomly selected questions from the U.S. citizenship test. The bill does not set a passing grade, leaving it up to teachers.
Students would be able to take the test multiple times until they pass.
