Rep. Michael Schultz (R)

HB 4003 (Special Needs Opportunity Scholarship Program)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill creates a scholarship program so families of special needs children can provide them the best education possible. Qualifying families will be able to use a percentage of the funds, already dedicated to their child's education, to attend a private school or purchase education curriculum and services that will best help their child.

Libertas supports this bill. It reflects a modest compromise with the governor's office while still retaining its core features, which will be a huge help to many families of special needs children.
