2017 Senate Bill 545

Senate Roll Call 475: Passed

To require the Department of Education to define which school services would be eligible for purchase from a proposed “enhanced education savings account” that individuals could open with tax deductible contributions. The accounts could be used to pay for public school extracurricular activities, vocational programs, or other services that schools are not required to provide. Note that while the Senate passed this and some related bills, it did not pass a bill authorizing the tax deductions (Senate Bill 549), without which this and the other bills appear to be moot.
