(ABC 6 News) — High school students in Iowa may soon have to take the same citizenship test that immigrants do.
The Iowa Senate passed a bill that would require students to answer at least 60% of the questions on the test correctly to graduate.
If signed into the law, the requirement would go into effect next school year.
