This bill proposes updates to section 15-2404 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts. It modifies the language to clarify that no government agency is allowed to exercise control or supervision over nonpublic schools or homeschools, replacing the term "permit" with "allow."
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that ensure qualified schools are not required to change their creed, practices, admissions policy, or curriculum to accept students using funds from empowerment scholarship accounts. It further stipulates that qualified schools cannot require parents or students to disclose whether the student is enrolled in the Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts program or the amount deposited in the student's account as a condition for enrollment.
