What’s in it
AI summary Students using education savings accounts to attend nonpublic schools will no longer have to take certain state-required tests. This change affects parents and guardians who use the program to pay for their children's schooling. While these students are still required to take federal assessments, they are excused from the state's specific testing requirements.1

Under the program, pupils are required to take all applicable state and federally required student assessments. The bill strikes the provision requiring such pupils to take student assessments required by the state. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to January 24, 2023.
