This bill creates a new "educational empowerment account" program that allows parents to request state funding for their school-age children if those children attend private schools instead of public schools. Parents must file a request with the Department of Education, and students using these accounts cannot simultaneously be enrolled in public school or participate in alternative instruction programs.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
