A nationwide school choice bill, known as the Education Choice Credit Act, has been scheduled for markup in Congress. The bill is expected to pass the Republican-controlled House Ways and Means Committee, marking the first time such legislation has passed out of committee in U.S. history. The bill aims to expand education freedom for over 1 million students without incurring new federal expenses. The House Ways and Means Committee passed the bill with a vote of 23 to 16, and it will now proceed to the House floor for further consideration. Rep. Burgess Owens champions the bill.
