The proposed bill seeks to amend section 15-2404 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the control of nonpublic schools and the requirements for qualified schools accepting students funded by Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts. Under current law, the statute does not permit any government agency to exercise control over nonpublic schools or homeschools, which will be updated to explicitly allow this provision.

Additionally, the bill introduces new stipulations that a qualified school cannot require parents or students to disclose their enrollment in the Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts program or the amount deposited in the student's account as a condition for enrollment. This addition aims to protect the privacy of families utilizing these scholarship accounts while maintaining the autonomy of qualified schools in their admissions processes.
