US EditionRepublican Plan for Nationwide Private School Vouchers Deemed in Violation of Senate Rules
- The Senate parliamentarian ruled on Friday that the Republican plan to expand nationwide private school vouchers violated procedural rules.
- This setback followed the parliamentarian’s advice against including voucher provisions in President Trump's tax cut and spending bill under reconciliation rules.
- The voucher plan would have created federal tax credits up to $4 billion annually to support scholarships for almost all families except the wealthiest, and similar programs exist in Republican-led states like Texas.
- Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley said Democrats continue opposing every part of this 'Big, Beautiful Betrayal' bill, which has already removed some harmful provisions but remains in contention.
- The parliamentarian’s rulings, though advisory, are rarely ignored, implying Republicans must alter or drop the voucher plan and other struck provisions, affecting the bill's future passage.
