❌ HB643
Limit EdChoice expansion scholarship based on income
Current Status: Introduced In House
Summary
The bill limits the EdChoice expansion scholarship to families with a federal adjusted gross income of $500,000 or less, effective from the 2026-2027 school year. Families exceeding this income threshold will not be eligible for the scholarship, which is intended for students entering grades kindergarten through twelve. The income threshold will be adjusted annually for inflation.
Rationale
The bill imposes income restrictions on educational scholarships, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of free market education and parental rights in determining their children's education without government interference.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over educational funding
- Restricts parental choice in education
- Potentially limits access to educational opportunities for families just above the income threshold
