Urges the Governor to reconsider Hawaii's non-participation in the Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit Program.

The bill urges the Governor to reconsider Hawaii's decision not to participate in the Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit Program. This program allows states to opt-in and benefit from private donations that fund scholarships for students from low- and middle-income families. Participation would enable Hawaii to receive donated scholarship resources, potentially improving educational outcomes and providing families with more educational choices. The program is funded by private contributions and federal tax code, not state appropriations.
