This bill amends the priority guidelines for education freedom accounts (EFAs) to include students whose parents are on active military duty with a permanent change of station in New Hampshire. Specifically, it modifies RSA 194-F:1, XIII(d) by adding a new provision (e) that states, "A student with a parent who is on active military duty with a permanent change of station (PCS) in New Hampshire." This addition aims to provide educational support to military families who may face unique challenges due to their service.
In addition to the new insertion, the bill also makes a minor adjustment to the existing language by replacing a period with a semicolon at the end of the previous provision regarding family income. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. However, the fiscal impact of the bill is currently undetermined as the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant is awaiting further information from the Department of Education.
