Educational freedom-constitutional amendment.
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Wyoming's legislature to reimburse students for non-public school education costs, but only for students aged 6-21 who are otherwise eligible for public school. The amendment would permit reimbursement up to the cost of public education in Wyoming, excluding expenses for out-of-state education, non-K-12 schooling, or education for students ineligible for public school. It does not require the legislature to fund such reimbursements, nor does it authorize payments exceeding public school costs. The proposal must be approved by Wyoming voters to become part of the state constitution.
