§ 21-2-907 — Education service providers

(a) Before receiving payment from an ESA, a prospective
education service provider shall:
(i) Be certified by the state superintendent of
public instruction pursuant to W.S. 21-2-906(a) to receive
payments from ESAs;
(ii) Agree not to refund, rebate or share ESA funds
with parents or ESA students in any manner, except that funds
may be remitted or refunded to an ESA in accordance with
procedures established by the state superintendent.
(b) Nothing in this act shall be deemed to limit the
independence or autonomy of an education service provider or to
make the actions of an education service provider the actions of
state government or public school district.
(c) Education service providers shall be given maximum
freedom to provide instruction and services in their usual and
customary manner to meet the educational needs of ESA students.
(d) An education service provider that accepts payment
from an ESA pursuant to this act is not an agent of the state or
federal government or a public school district.
(e) Nothing in this act shall be construed to expand the
regulatory authority of the state, its officers, or any school
district to impose any additional regulation of education
service providers beyond those necessary to enforce the
requirements of the ESA program.
(f) An education service provider shall not be required to
alter its creed, practices, admission policy or curriculum to
accept payments authorized by a parent from an ESA.
