Obv they're unfamiliar with the need to do a corporate registry search before randomly choosing a name that sparks their imaginations.
In addition to actual products named WyTex, I see there's a WyTex ranch in WY. P'raps they should have gone with something else!

Well then, I suppose the we is doomed where certainty is ambiguous. I use that technique all the time. Sort of a see the future be the future thing.
It's a good idea to gather up your wits and convictions and a bad idea to assume all will be as before it was at any point in time. The we have been revealed, the time is now...
is the universe entropic?
most certainly, but that doesn't stop me from pushing back
i have some marcus aurelius to help me through the rough patches

And colleges get so many feelers from Seniors and vice versa that they don't really know enrollment figures until the financial aid comes thru. Ours is applying to several schools, and some of them will accept her... but they won't see her unless there's some greasing of the skids, so to speak. But if she didn't have her FAFSA completed, was accepted, then at this late date started trying to figure out how to pay for it, she'd be out of luck. It's maybe an unfortunate thing, but realistically if they don't have their financial aid apps sorted out by Christmas of their senior year, they're not going to college. So states with significant investments in their universities want to keep the kids coming, this makes sense. Don't let them fall back to a CC just because they didn't have their ducks in a row.
I also think most high schools have this in place already. Maybe not as a grad requirement, but if a student is considering college, they definitely are made to get their fafsa apps in. Maybe they don't get all the help with it that they should, and maybe this action comes with more money for the guidance counseling department.
Overall, it seems logical, if unfortunate. It shouldn't be so hard to go to college. By hard, I mean expensive but also just so bureaucratically challenging.
So instead they're making graduating from high school more bureaucratically challenging.
There are a lot of kids with chaotic home situationsâfoster care, absentee parents, custodial families without legal custody, etc. FAFSA requires cooperation/action by parents or legal guardians*. If those aren't available or helping out the kid may get stuck one form from graduation. Most school counselors would treat that as a problem to intervene in, and that will occupy them instead of useful work they could be doing. This is yet another attempt to establish a traditional college education as the default path for students, which is wasteful, misguided, and belittling to those who don't want that path.
Most trade schools, the military, entry-level jobs, and many apprenticeship programs demand a high school diploma to enter. This will add yet another obstacle to students who want to get to work without saddling themselves with more years of school and associated debt.
*At least it did when we were dealing with it, which has been a while. And our youngest didn't need any of that to go to the schools he attended post graduation, so we didn't mess with any of it.
Fair enough but dealing with bureaucracy is a life skill that all high school graduates will need.

I don't disagree with any of that. Shouldn't be a law; maybe if they're so worried about it, they should streamline the bureaucracy required to get into the state college and provide a college-track counselor in addition to the typical guidance counselors. Our high school just added a third counselor... they had two from last year back to the dawn of time. It was a waste of time to try to get some actual help. Which is your point, I believe. I don't think it's a good solution, but I understand what they're trying to achieve. I think.

Lawmakers in at least eight states are pushing legislation this year that would require high-school seniors to complete federal or state financial-aid applications before they can graduate, part of a broad effort to guide more high-school students toward college.
Again
From what I could view of that article that all appears to be state-level legislation (by Republicans and Democrats), not Congressional.
