What’s happening?
The Opportunity Scholarships Act, LB753, enacted in 2023 provides education freedom to many Nebraska families who cannot afford the best school setting for their child.
However, a petition effort is underway, seeking to undo The Opportunity Scholarships Act. If the petitioners receive enough signatures by the end of August, they can subject the law to a ballot referendum in fall of 2024 and can block the law from taking effect – preventing children in need from receiving scholarships.
