The proposed bill would amend section 15-2403 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new requirement for the department to provide clear information regarding the legal rights that students and parents waive when enrolling in the Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts program. Specifically, the bill mandates that the department must prominently post this notice on its website and include it in each application packet, ensuring that applicants are fully informed of their rights before participation.
Aside from this new insertion, the current law regarding the application process, enrollment timelines, and funding estimates for Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts remains unchanged. The existing provisions detail the application acceptance period, the issuance of award letters, and the department's obligations to report funding estimates to the joint legislative budget committee and the governor's office.
