Analysis of Indiana Senate Bill 534 and House Bill 1591

Abstract

In conjunction with our ongoing research on school choice initiatives in Indiana and other states, CEEP examines the Indiana Senate Bill 534, which would establish a parent-managed scholarship account program available to students meeting at least one of three special education categories, and House Bill 1591, which would establish a similar account program available to all students legally residing in Indiana. HB 1591 includes provisions unrelated to this account program; the following analysis only includes the relevant provisions.
