AI Summary
This bill establishes the True School Choice for Alabama Act, which provides education savings accounts (ESAs) for parents of eligible students in Alabama to use towards educational expenses at public or nonpublic schools, including private, religious, and home-based schools. The ESAs will be funded by the state legislature and administered by the Department of Revenue. The bill creates a Parent Advisory Board to provide oversight and recommendations on the program's implementation.
