What’s in it

AI summary Starting July 1, 2025, the state would end the program that gives money to students at nonpublic schools for things like tuition and tutoring. This change would stop the education savings account program for all students in kindergarten through 12th grade.1

Read the official explanation

The education savings account program is a program that provides funds to pupils who attend nonpublic schools to pay for qualified educational expenses including but not limited to tuition, tutoring or cognitive skill training fees, educational therapy costs, software expenses, and expenses related to course materials. For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2025, each student eligible to enroll in kindergarten through grade 12 is eligible for the education savings account program. This bill repeals the education savings account program and makes conforming changes.
