Texas may soon require high school students take a version of the test all immigrants looking for U.S. citizenship must pass.

On Wednesday, the Texas House tentatively approved a bill that would eliminate the required U.S. history end-of-course for public high schoolers and replace that with a version of the civics test that immigrants must take to become U.S. citizens. As of 2017, 15 states have passed similar legislation, according to the Arizona-based Civics Education Initiative.

State Rep. Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin, one of the authors of House Bill 1776, said the measure is intended to ensure public school students are educated on the most critical components of U.S. history and civics.
