Title

HB60 Georgia Educational Scholarship Act

Description

PFPS Summary: GA HB 60 would create an education savings account (ESA) for families to pay for private school tuition or other private education expenses. Children from low-income families, adoptees, children of military families, students with disabilities, and students whose local public school is not open for "100 percent of instruction in person" would all be elligible. Each participating student would receive an annual payment into the ESA of an "amount equivalent to the costs of the educational program that would have been provided for the student in the resident school system." HB 60 caps participation in the voucher at 0.25 percent of the current school year enrollment. Every following year, the cap increases by 0.25 percent annual until it reaches 2.5 percent.
