Bill > HB129

This bill establishes the Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students' Education (CHOOSE) Act of 2024, which provides education savings accounts (ESAs) for parents of eligible students in Alabama to use for qualifying educational expenses. The bill sets up the program, including defining key terms, outlining the requirements for parents and education service providers to participate, and establishing a fund to provide tax credits to offset the cost of the ESAs. The program is intended to give parents more options in educating their children, while also including provisions to prevent fraud or misuse of the funds.
