2026 Bills to Watch
Regular Session
January 13 - March 13
HB 6023 Educational Facilities
SB 424 Educational Facilities
This bill would delete the language that allows Schools of Hope charters to co-locate in our public schools.
SB 318 Educational Scholarship Programs
This bill would implement important accountability measures for our K-12 voucher programs, limiting waste on tax funds. Currently, the House does not have a companion bill.
HB 1147 Charter Schools
SB 824 Charter Schools
This bill would require school districts to have an agreement to construct a school on vacant land by a certain date. If not, they will be required to award the land to a charter operator that submits the best proposal, even if it is under market value and even if there is not a demonstrated need for an additional school.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The language requiring districts to sell property has been removed.
