Bill > SB3966

This bill, titled the Prohibition on Federal Voucher Program Participation Act, prevents the State of Illinois from participating in or cooperating with any federal program that offers vouchers or education savings accounts for private elementary and secondary education, specifically referencing a federal bill known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1 of the 119th Congress) or similar future federal legislation. The bill's purpose is to uphold the state's constitutional duty to provide high-quality public education, prevent public funds from being diverted from public schools to private institutions, and maintain state control over education policy. It clarifies that this prohibition does not prevent the state from receiving federal funds for public education programs that align with the Illinois Constitution and do not subsidize private schooling, and the act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
