SB 82 creates a new scholarship program to help children in foster care pay for education and related expenses. The bill repeals three outdated statutes and updates existing law to establish the program's framework and funding. The legislature is declaring this an emergency measure, meaning the law takes effect immediately upon the Governor's signature.
