Florida Legislature Passes Universal School Choice
Epoch Times - By Dan M. Berger, March 24, 2023

The Florida Legislature has passed the NAME bill that will make school vouchers, good for private school tuition or homeschooling expenses, available to every family in the state.

The Senate passed the measure, known as HB 1, by a 26–12 vote on March 23. It passed in the House on March 17 by a vote of 83–27. The bill, which Gov. Ron DeSantis is likely to sign, would go into effect on July 1, 2023. The state plans to add 40,000 vouchers yearly to its program until 2027.

“This bill makes Florida the first state in the nation to provide universal parental choice for education,” state Rep. Chuck Clemons, a Republican and speaker pro tem of the House, told The Epoch Times in a text.

“The old tired system was broken. This model will soon spread across the country.”
