Bar Government Control Over Private and Religious Schools
Prohibits any government from controlling, directing, or excluding private and religious schools or scholarship-granting organizations from the federal scholarship tax credit program, and bars discrimination based on a school's religious character or policies.
- Population Scope Medium Directly affects private and religious schools, scholarship-granting organizations, and the families using scholarships at those institutions — a meaningful but sub-majority share of the U.S. population.
- Budgetary Magnitude Low No funds are authorized, appropriated, or obligated by this provision.
- Legal / Regulatory Depth High Creates binding statutory prohibitions on all levels of government — a new class of enforceable constraints on sovereign regulatory authority over private education institutions and scholarship organizations nationwide.
- Degree of Discretion Granted Low Mandatory 'shall not' language throughout leaves no agency or governmental discretion; the provision removes authority rather than conferring it.
- Implementation & Enforcement Burden Low No new enforcement mechanism, penalties, or compliance infrastructure is created; the provision operates as a passive statutory prohibition on government conduct.
- Temporal Commitment High Persists indefinitely until Congress acts to repeal or amend it.

Summary
This bill changes federal tax law to block government agencies at any level from controlling private or religious schools and the organizations that give scholarships to students at those schools. It says that getting money through a federal scholarship tax credit program does not make a school or scholarship group a government actor. It also bars governments from excluding religious schools from the program based on their faith-based character or policies.
