Plain-language change summary

The changes made to HB 1333 shifted the responsibility for creating AP credit policies from individual higher education institutions to a centralized council. Now, the council will implement a systemwide policy that guarantees students receive credits for achieving a minimum score of three on AP exams. Additionally, the timeline for reporting compliance has been adjusted—now it will occur biannually instead of annually, starting in 2019. These updates are important because they aim to standardize how credits are awarded, making the process fairer and more consistent for students across Washington’s higher education system.
