SB 141 (2023)

Limits eligibility for the education freedom account (EFA) program to students who are currently attending a New Hampshire public school for a minimum of one year or who are entering kindergarten or first grade. This bill also requires an annual income eligibility determination for a student to continue to receive funds through the Education Freedom Account (EFA) program. The current EFA program allows students in families below 300% of the poverty level to spend the state's per-pupil share of education funding on private and home school expenses. This bill would make a student ineligible for the program in future years if the family's income rose above 300% of the federal poverty level. Lastly, this bill requires an annual report on the number of students participating in the program in each school district.
