This bill establishes a limit on the number of education freedom accounts available through the 2027 school year. Specifically, it amends RSA 194-F:3, I-a to set an enrollment cap of 10,000 for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. Additionally, it introduces a provision that allows for a 25 percent increase in the enrollment cap for subsequent years if the total enrollment in the prior year exceeds 90 percent of the previous year's cap. The Department of Education is tasked with publishing information regarding any increases to the enrollment cap on its website.

The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage. However, the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has not yet completed a fiscal note for the bill, as it is still awaiting information from the Department of Education. The initial request for a fiscal note worksheet was made on November 5, 2025, with follow-up contact on December 5, 2025.
