DC:
Alabama on Wednesday became the first state in 2024 to pass school choice and is now the 11th state in the country to have universal education savings accounts (ESAs).
House Bill 129, the Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education (CHOOSE) Act headed to the desk of Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, who made passing universal ESAs her “number one legislative priority,” according to a press release from February.
Ivey signed the CHOOSE Act Thursday, according to her Twitter.

But I’m fuzzy on the details. Does this mean that tax payers withhold a certain amount of their tax obligations and send it to the school?
