What this changes
Other
Law today: The bill does not spell out the prior law. No existing statute or regulation is amended; this is a designation of a commemorative week.
If passed: This bill would officially designate one week in January–February 2025 as 'National School Choice Week' — a symbolic recognition that does not create new law, funding, or requirements but affirms support for educational options (private schools, homeschooling, charter schools, vouchers, and similar alternatives to traditional public school).
