2025SB 1025

Empowering Parents Through Education Freedom

2025 - Idaho Senate

Conservatives Support

Description

This bill amends existing law to strengthen the Empowering Parents Grant Program, providing families with greater control over how education funds are used to support their children’s learning needs. CPAC supported this bill because it reinforces parental rights in education and promotes school choice, ensuring taxpayer dollars prioritize students and families rather than bureaucratic systems. The Idaho Senate rejected SB 1025 on February 14, 2025, in a 6-28 vote, ending the bill’s prospects of becoming law.
