Education Savings Accounts for all North Dakota students pass Senate
North Dakota’s push for Education Savings Accounts took a step forward as the Senate narrowly approved a bill to provide all K-12 students with $500 for educational expenses. The proposal, which could cost $58 million annually, would offer more for private school students who meet income limits. Supporters see it as expanding opportunity, while critics argue it lacks clear demand and could strain public funding. With debate heating up, the bill now heads to the House, where its final shape—and fate—remain uncertain. Get the full story form the North Dakota Monitor. Bill details are below.
SB 2400
A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new chapter to title 15.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the establishment of the education savings account program; to provide a continuing appropriation; and to provide an appropriation.
House Sponsors: Bosch (R, District 30), M. Ruby (R, District 40),
Senate Sponsors: Hogue (R, District 38), Myrdal (R, District 19), Sickler (R, District 17),
