Chair opened discussion of House Bill 3,590 and recognized Representative LePak to present technical and audit-related amendments to the Opportunity Scholarship. Representative Provanzano asked whether the bill changes qualification thresholds (free/reduced lunch conversion to federal poverty level); Representative LePak said the bill replaces the FRL metric with an equivalent federal poverty threshold to make eligibility auditable. Members debated whether a C-rated school would qualify; the motion to report the bill out passed (reported as due-pass tally 19 yes, 4 nay).
