HB 3 establishes an Education Savings Account (ESA) program, allowing state funds to be allocated directly to parents for approved education-related expenses. The program is designed to provide financial assistance to families seeking private school tuition, homeschooling materials, tutoring services, or other educational resources. The bill sets up a state-administered program fund to manage ESA disbursements and limits the number of certified educational assistance organizations that can facilitate payments. Eligibility extends to students who would otherwise attend public school, with priority given to children from lower-income households or those with disabilities. The law places financial caps on total program spending and provides regulatory oversight to prevent misuse of funds​.
