HB 1029- Free Textbooks

Synopsis: Provides textbooks to students in public schools at no charge to the student's family.

Nothing is as expensive as what a politician tells you will be "free." Although we can argue the truthfulness of their wording "no charge to the student's family," the fact is textbooks are already subsidized to Hoosiers. This bill would further take the consumer out of the loop and remove any incentives to find less expensive books or more efficient ways to educate our children.
