(2) A student who graduates high school between January 1, 2020, and September 30, 2020, is not required to meet the requirements of Section 53E-4-205 as a condition of receiving a high school diploma if:

(a) the student is unable to complete the basic civics test due to public health related school closures;

(b) the student's LEA submits an application to the state board for a waiver of the requirement to complete the basic civics test that includes an explanation for why the student was unable to complete the basic civics test due to public health related school closures; and

(c) the state board grants a waiver requested under Subsection (2)(b).
