This bill establishes new requirements for nonpublic schools that receive tuition payments from parents or guardians participating in the education savings account program in Iowa. It amends the definition of "qualified educational expenses" to include tuition and fees at nonpublic schools that comply with specific accountability, transparency, data reporting, and auditing requirements that are applicable to school district boards.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection that stipulates that nonpublic schools must meet these requirements in order to receive tuition payments from parents or guardians involved in the education savings account program. This ensures that nonpublic schools are held to similar standards as public school districts, promoting accountability and transparency in the use of educational funds.
