Gov. Ducey Signs Bill Requiring Students to Score 60 out of 100 on Citizenship Exam to Graduate Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill requiring students to pass the U.S. citizenship exam in order to graduate from high school. Arizona legislators Thursday passed an education bill that requires students to pass the U.S. citizenship exam in order to graduate from high school, becoming the first in the nation to do so. After the state’s House majority leader formally filed the bill on Monday, the state House and Senate fast-tracked the American Civics Act through the legislature in the first week of its legislative session.
