Americans for Prosperity-Alabama Applauds House Passage of Historic Education Savings Legislation
Montgomery, AL–Americans for Prosperity-Alabama (AFP-AL) is applauding Governor Kay Ivey, Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter, Chairman Danny Garrett, and Members of the House for historically passing Governor Ivey’s CHOOSE Act, HB129.
AFP-AL State Director, Adam Thompson, made the following statement:
“We are thrilled to see the House support Governor Ivey’s legislation and make expanding children’s options in education a priority this session. By passing the CHOOSE Act, families are one step closer to qualifying for funding to meet their child’s educational needs. AFP-AL is urging the Senate to quickly take up this bill and help remove barriers in a child’s education.”
Background
The Creating Hope & Opportunity for Our Students’ Education (CHOOSE) Act would empower families with education options to best support each individual learner by establishing universal Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
AFP-AL has launched digital resources in support of the legislation and has testified before multiple committees on the need for education freedom.
