A bipartisan committee in the Arizona House of Representatives will delve into how the universal Empowerment Scholarship Account funds are managed.
An ad hoc committee on the “governance and administration” of the accounts is intended to look at how the money is used while also looking at the outcomes and demographics of those who are using the new program.
According to a statement from the House, Speaker Ben Toma and Minority Leader Andres Cano agreed to establish the study committee, which is expected to have a report put together by the end of 2023.
Both Gov. Katie Hobbs and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne will also play a role in the committee, a document from the House says.
