What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction, beginning in the

2025-26 school year, to annually reimburse individuals who teach full-time in public

schools or private schools for up to $250 in eligible supplies, as determined by DPI

by rule, that the individual purchased to use in a classroom during the school year.

Under the bill, to be reimbursed for eligible supplies, a teacher must submit to DPI

a receipt signed by the teacher and the principal of the school where the teacher

teaches full-time. The bill authorizes DPI to audit reimbursements made under the

bill.
