AI Summary
This bill appropriates $20 million in state funds, specifically $10 million for fiscal year 2025-26 and another $10 million for fiscal year 2026-27, to the State Treasurer to provide education scholarships. The funds will be allocated from the General Fund and are intended to support low-income and at-risk elementary and secondary students by increasing their access to educational opportunities at approved or accredited private, denominational, or parochial schools. The Legislature's stated intent is to continue this annual $10 million appropriation in the future, with strict guidelines that the funds can only be used for these education scholarships. This bill represents an effort to expand educational choice for students who might not otherwise have access to private school education by providing financial assistance through state funding.
