In plain language

This bill requires the Governor to submit a list of scholarship organizations for a federal program annually.

The Illinois Educational Choice for Children Act mandates the Governor to provide a list of scholarship granting organizations to opt-in to a federal school choice program by January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter. This process requires compliance with federal tax regulations and involves consultation with state agencies.
