SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That new Sections 213 to 220, inclusive, be and
they are hereby added to Article 77 of the Annotated Code

Education," to follow immediately after Section 212 of said

NONPUBLIC EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
213. Legislative Findings.
The General Assembly, based upon the Report and Recom-
mendations of the Governor's Commission to Study State
Aid to Nonpublic Education, and upon its own investigation
hereby finds and declares as the public policy of the State
of Maryland that:
(a) Nonpublic schools have historically played an im-
portant role in the education of Maryland youth;
(b) By reason of increased costs, many of the nonpublic
schools are in great financial difficulty, and have been re-
quired to increase tuition and other charges to the extent
that many families, and in particular low income families,
are not able to send their children to such schools;
(c) All indications are that the problem will increase, and
as a result will force a curtailment of nonpublic education
and the closing of nonpublic schools;
(d) Any such curtailment will adversely affect the wel-
fare of the State by denying to parents a choice in how their
children are to be educated and by increasing the burden on
the public schools, many of which are already overcrowded;
(e) By the provisions of state assistance, as authorized
in this Act, nonpublic schools can continue the important
role they have played, and make available to more families,
especially low income families, the choice in education which
they could not otherwise afford.
