LC 1432 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Constitutional amendment to repeal Article X, section 6 regarding aid prohibited to sectarian schools

This bill (LC 1432) proposed a constitutional amendment to remove a provision in Article X, section 6 that currently prohibits public funds from being used to support religious schools. If passed, it would allow state aid to sectarian (religious) schools by repealing this constitutional ban. The bill was drafted but died in committee on May 26, 2025, meaning it never became law or changed the state constitution. It directly affected how public education funding could be distributed, but no policy change occurred as the bill did not advance.
