Title

FL S0048 - Educational Scholarship Programs

Description

PFPS Summary: SB48 merges Florida’s five existing voucher programs into two programs. It expands both eligibility for the programs and the ways in which public funds can be used on private education expenses, including for tuition and fees for homeschooling, virtual schools, and private tutoring services. SB48 also decreases accountability of these programs by reducing the frequency of audits from annually to every three years.
