Summary
The program’s legal basis ends September 1, 2027. Accounts already open? The bill says nothing.
The bill repeals the part of the Education Code that sets up Texas' education savings account program. It touches families who use or would use those accounts, the private schools and providers paid through them, and the state agency that runs the program. Starting September 1, 2027, the legal basis for the program would be gone, though the bill as filed points to "Subsection J" of Chapter 29 and says nothing about accounts already open.
