Summary
Starting September 1, 2027, no new state money flows to private school accounts.
The bill repeals the part of the Texas Education Code that sets up the education savings account program. That touches families who use or would use state accounts to pay for private school or other education costs, and the private schools and providers paid through the program. Starting September 1, 2027, the program's legal basis is gone and no new state money flows through it.
