Amend CSSB 1 in Article III of the bill following the
appropriations to the Texas Education Agency by adding the
following appropriately numbered rider:
____. Prohibition on Vouchers. It is the intent of the
Legislature that none of the funds appropriated above may be spent
to pay for a public education voucher program or a public education
voucher pilot program if the program uses federal funds or state tax
dollars to pay tuition for children in any grades between grade 1
through grade 12 to attend a private school. This prohibition
includes the paying of any federal funds or state tax dollars,
either directly or indirectly, for grants or programs for children
to attend private schools or private educational programs that
substitutes for a regular education program provided by a school
district or open-enrollment charter school.
