Bill > HB5329

This bill aims to prevent the use of state funds through the Hope Scholarship Program to pay for attending out-of-state private schools or receiving services from out-of-state providers. It defines key terms related to the program, such as "account," "board," "education service provider," and "participating school," and specifies that these providers must be located within West Virginia. The bill also clarifies the eligibility requirements for the Hope Scholarship, including that the student must be a resident of West Virginia and enrolled in a public school program in the state.
