To the House Committee on Education Policy and Administration, I strongly support **HB 1513** because it would impose long-overdue and clearly necessary **reporting and transparency requirements** on the scholarship organization that taxpayers pay to administer the Education Freedom Account (voucher) program. This bill would require detailed expenditure reports, standardized data summaries, and timely access to financial and enrollment information for legislative and state oversight bodies — all in a format accessible to the public. These requirements would help ensure that millions in public funds are spent responsibly and in alignment with statutory intent and taxpayer expectations. Clear reporting and transparency are fundamental to accountability when public dollars are involved, and HB 1513 will help provide that. Thank you for your consideration. Kathy Brunet Durham, NH
