A bill for an act repealing the education savings account program.

Iowa Senate Bill 2321 (SF2321) is a legislative proposal introduced on February 12, 2026, by Senator Sarah Trone Garriott. The bill aims to repeal the state's Education Savings Account (ESA) program, which provides state funding to eligible families for tuition and other qualified education expenses at accredited nonpublic schools in Iowa. If enacted, SF2321 would eliminate this program, thereby discontinuing the financial assistance currently available to families choosing nonpublic education options.

Supporters of SF2321 argue that repealing the ESA program would redirect state funds back to public schools, potentially enhancing resources and support for public education. They contend that the ESA program diverts necessary funding from public schools, and its elimination would strengthen the public education system by ensuring more equitable distribution of state resources.

Opponents of SF2321 believe that repealing the ESA program would limit educational choices for families, particularly those seeking alternatives to public schooling. They argue that the program provides essential financial support that enables families to select educational environments best suited to their children's needs. Eliminating the program could disproportionately affect low- and middle-income families who rely on ESAs to afford nonpublic education options.
