ESAs; enrollment; required disclosures; prohibition

HB 2916 prohibits Arizona nonpublic schools and homeschools from requiring parents to disclose whether their child uses an Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) or the amount in the account as a condition for enrollment. It also prevents schools from altering their curriculum, admissions policies, or creed to accept ESA-funded students. The bill ensures schools accepting ESA payments remain independent from state control and shifts the burden of proof to the state in legal challenges regarding the law's application. This directly affects private schools, homeschools, and parents using ESAs by protecting their privacy and operational autonomy.
