This bill defines key terms for Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program, establishing eligibility criteria for students. It specifies who qualifies as a "qualified student" (e.g., children with disabilities, military children, students from low-performing schools, or those on Indian reservations) and outlines requirements like prior enrollment in public schools. The definitions directly affect families seeking ESA funds to cover education costs at participating schools. As a foundational definitional bill (not a new policy), it sets the framework for future program implementation without altering current funding or administrative processes.
