On March 27, 2023, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed CS/CS/CS/CS/HB 1 into law.1 This bill makes vouchers, known as Florida Empowerment Scholarships and Florida Tax Credit (FTC) Scholarships, available to all students in the state who are eligible for kindergarten through grade 12, regardless of family income. Vouchers already cost $1.4 billion — dollars that are redirected from public education to private schools.
