H.B. 93 Passes Senate, Heads to Governor’s Desk
/H.B. 93 Parental Choice Tax Credit
The Idaho Senate has passed H.B. 93, a landmark school choice bill, sending it to the governor for final approval. With S.B. 1025 no longer under consideration, attention shifted to H.B. 93, which successfully made its way through the Legislature.
Key Points of H.B. 93:
✅ Provides $50 million in refundable tax credits to help families cover private school tuition and other nonpublic school educational expenses.
✅ Available to all Idahoans, with priority given to low- and middle-income families (earning below 300% of the federal poverty level).
✅ Supports private schools, homeschooling, micro schools, and learning pods through direct financial assistance.
✅ Does not take funding from public schools—the tax credits are funded separately from the state’s education budget.
With the bill now in the Governor’s hands, school choice supporters have contacted his office to encourage his signature and share their support.
