The Indiana House passed Senate Bill 88 on Tuesday by a vote of 67-29.
The bill already cleared the Senate 39-9, with one Democrat joining all 38 Republicans voting in support. It now moves to Governor Mike Braun’s desk for signature.
Senate Bill 88 requires Indiana’s public universities to accept scores from the Classic Learning Test, or CLT, for admissions decisions in the same way they accept SAT and ACT scores.
The CLT, launched in 2016, draws its questions from classical texts including works by Homer, Shakespeare, and the American founding documents.
It also mandates success sequence instruction, requiring schools to incorporate into their curriculum the value of completing education, obtaining employment, and waiting to have children until after marriage.
By adding the CLT as an accepted exam, the bill brings new competition to the long-standing SAT/ACT testing duopoly. Indiana families and students now have one more option when preparing for college entry.
