Imposes a moratorium on new Opportunity Scholarships, reduces scholarship funds, and reallocates funds to public schools.

This bill imposes a moratorium on awarding new Opportunity Scholarships starting with the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It reduces funds for the Opportunity Scholarship program by $30 million for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and an additional $50 million for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The bill also reallocates $113.5 million to the Department of Public Instruction for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to address public school needs. The intent is to limit future funding increases for scholarships to the annual percentage increase in funding for public schools.
