AN ACT amending section 15-2402, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to Arizona Empowerment scholarship accounts.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Arizona law regarding Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESAs), which are state-funded accounts designed to provide educational options for students. Specifically, it changes the timeframe for closing an ESA if a parent fails to renew it; instead of three academic years of non-renewal, the account will now be closed after one academic year of non-renewal. The bill also clarifies that the notification of account closure must be sent by certified mail, email, and telephone, and that the parent has sixty days to renew the account before it is closed and any remaining funds are returned to the state.
