HB 1532 - Private School Vouchers

House Bill 1532 would have given $10 million dollars in public money to private schools with no strings attached. The bill was a dangerous threat to public schools, rural communities, and services that depend on public funding. North Dakota United members sent over 57,000 emails to Senators and Representatives on this issue. The final version of the bill narrowly passed out of the House by three votes and was sent to Governor Burgum, who vetoed HB 1532 after receiving almost 900 emails from NDU members urging him to do so. The House then sustained the veto and HB 1532 was finally defeated.

• ND United OPPOSED this bill.
