Summary

The bill lets parents or guardians of students with dyslexia or speech‑language impairments apply for state scholarships even if the child attended a school outside Mississippi the prior year. It applies only to children of active‑duty service members assigned to a Mississippi military base. The change expands eligibility for specialized nonpublic schools that focus on these interventions.
