In February 2007, the Utah Legislature passed H.B. 148, Education Vouchers. This bill will take effect only if approved by voters. The bill:

— establishes a scholarship program for:

— qualifying school-age children who newly enroll in eligible private schools; and

— lower income school-age children who continue their enrollment in eligible private schools;

— provides for scholarships within that program of $500 to $3,000, depending on family size and income, increasing those scholarship amounts in future years; and

— allows school districts to retain some per-student funding for scholarship students who transfer to private schools.

Are you for or against H.B. 148 taking effect?
