2003 House Bill 4720

Senate Roll Call 150: Passed

To concur with the House-passed version of the bill, which requires the fees paid by participating schools to completely cover the administrative cost of the program, and prorate the cost between the participants. By eliminating any potential subsidy to a particular non-public school, proponents of this version contend that it ensures the bill will not violate the Constitutional prohibition on state aid to "any private, denominational or other nonpublic" school.
