relative to the use of education freedom account funds in religious schools.

HB 1592 would have prohibited the use of Education Freedom Account funds at religious schools or for religious education and training. The bill also sought to repeal existing rules that prevented the program from discriminating against providers based on religious policies and required them to remain independent. By removing these protections, the legislation aimed to allow state education funds to be used at religious institutions without restriction. Although the bill passed a committee vote, it was ultimately tabled and did not become law.
