TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida House legislation by Rep. Josie Tomkow, R-Auburndale, passed on Thursday, expanding school choice access and improving funding for student scholarships.
The bill, HB 1403, passed 109-1, with Rep. Mike Beltran, R-Riverview, voting against it.
Tomkow credited the legislature’s previous work in providing the large school choice package lawmakers were able to deliver in the 2023 session.
“While hundreds of thousands of families have benefited from these scholarship programs, there have been issues with providing funds in the timeframe we would expect,” Tomkow said.
