Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill SB 1431 clarify definitions related to empowerment scholarship accounts and eligibility criteria for families. Specifically, the language has been refined to explicitly define "curriculum," "department," and "eligible postsecondary institution." Additionally, eligibility for scholarships has been maintained for children from families earning up to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines and those residing in low-performing school districts. This change is significant as it aims to support families with limited income by ensuring they have access to educational resources and opportunities.
