Senate Bill 193 would allow families to take 90 percent of the money their local school district receives from the state to educate their children and, after funneling it through a scholarship organization, put it instead toward other education expenses – including home-schooling or private school tuition. The bill cleared the Senate in a 14-9 party-line vote on March 16.

SB 193 flew mostly under the radar at the start of the session. But on Tuesday, a line out the committee door of people coming to testify about the bill led House lawmakers to relocate their hearing to Representatives Hall at the State House.
