The RELA Act would prevent states that opt-in from discriminating against religious or private schools, allowing the funds raised through the EFTC program to be available for use at all schools, in any education context, and for all children, regardless of whether the education provided is faith-based or not.
Support the Religious Education Liberty Assurance Act to prevent states that opt into the Education Freedom Tax Credit from excluding or discriminating against private or religious schools.

Assessments
Crank materially advanced the RELA Act by introducing it, and the verified passage confirms the bill targets the promised policy of preventing opt-in states from discriminating against religious or private schools. However, the bill was only referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means and had no recorded votes as of 2026-10-12, so the promised policy outcome has not been enacted. With no deadline expired, this remains unresolved rather than never or partial.
