The bill proposes amendments to section 15-2402 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts. The changes include the following:

1. The language is updated to replace "a" with "the" in the context of requiring a qualified student to withdraw from their current school district or charter school before enrolling for an Arizona empowerment scholarship account. This change clarifies that the student must withdraw from their specific school before receiving any scholarship funds.

2. The bill also mandates that the Department of Education list the monies transferred for a qualified student's empowerment scholarship account as a separate line item in its budget estimate. Additionally, the general appropriations act must list these monies as a separate line item in the Department's budget. This change aims to increase transparency and accountability in the tracking of scholarship funds.
