About the amendment: Currently, Kentucky’s constitution prohibits the use of public tax dollars to fund private schools and other nonpublic education providers, as recently demonstrated by court decisions striking down legislation that attempted to do so.
Amendment 2, often referred to as the “Voucher Amendment,” is a proposed constitutional amendment that will appear on Kentucky ballots during the 2024 election season. The amendment resulted from the passage of House Bill 2 during the 2024 Regular Session of the General Assembly.
Voters will decide whether to amend Kentucky’s constitution to give the state legislature broad new authority to send public funds to schools “outside the system of common (public) schools.” As written, Amendment 2 seeks to create exceptions/loopholes for seven different sections of the Kentucky Constitution and allow public dollars to fund private schools and other private education providers.
