Modifies provisions governing Missouri empowerment scholarship accounts

HB 1324 modifies Missouri's empowerment scholarship program by defining "qualified students" (Missouri residents with specific needs like an IEP or household income under 300% of free lunch standards) and "qualified schools" (public, charter, or private schools that don't discriminate). It requires public schools to continue counting scholarship students in their attendance records for five years if they enroll in a non-resident school, ensuring ongoing state/federal funding for the original public school. The bill also prohibits schools from changing admissions or curriculum to accept scholarship students and clarifies that participating private schools aren't considered state agents. These changes directly affect students using scholarships and participating schools in Missouri's education system.
