HB 1221 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the use of moneys in Missouri empowerment scholarship accounts for driver education purposes

HB 1221 amends Missouri's empowerment scholarship program to allow funds in students' accounts to cover driver education costs. Specifically, it adds "reimbursing a qualified student for up to one thousand dollars of costs and fees incurred for driver education instruction, training, and testing" as an eligible expense. This directly affects students enrolled in the Missouri empowerment scholarship program who need driver education. The change expands existing allowable uses of scholarship funds without altering eligibility requirements or program administration.
