Education savings accounts.

Wyoming's HB 19 creates education savings accounts (ESAs) providing $5,000 annually per eligible student to cover qualified education expenses. It directly affects low-income Wyoming students (household income ≤250% of federal poverty level) who are either not yet in public school or haven't graduated high school. Funds can be used for tuition at qualified schools, tutoring, textbooks, educational therapies, technology, and other approved expenses as defined in the bill. The state superintendent of public instruction administers the program, disbursing funds quarterly from a dedicated state account. The bill failed its introduction in February 2024 with a 41-19 vote.
