House leaders kill school voucher bill without vote by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today March 14, 2024 A school voucher bill died Thursday – a deadline day – when House leaders opted not to bring it up for consideration. House Bill 1449, which was first introduced as a far reaching, universal voucher bill allowing public funds to be spent on private schools, had been amended to create a committee to study the issue.
House Education Chair Rob Roberson, R-Starkville, said when he filed the legislation he just wanted to start a conversation on the contentious issue and indicated then the bill would not survive. Even after the bill was changed to a study committee, Mississippi Today reported that House leaders were saying it would be killed in the House and not advanced to the Senate. Thursday was the deadline for original floor action on bills in the chamber where they originated.
