Abstract	This report provides a framework for understanding the impacts of state government statutes regulating private schools, regulations distinct to a given school choice program, and any regulatory growth over a program's lifespan. Examining school choice programs in operation for at least a few years provides important context and comparisons for policymakers considering additional regulations on current programs, as well as for school choice advocates pursuing new or expanded programs. In this report, the author attempts to address several core questions: (1) How do the regulatory environments before the enactment of private school choice programs compare to the regulatory environments brought about by those programs? (2) To what extent do private school choice programs change the existing relationship between state governments and private schools? (3) What types of regulations burden private schools the most? Has the nature of the regulatory burden changed over time? The author highlights findings from the report and recommendations for proponents of school choice that include: educate policymakers, the media, and the general public on the longstanding regulatory relationship between state governments and private schools. Also included are the appendices: (1) Statutes Analyzed for Figures and Tables with Programs' Statutes; (2) Additional Tables; (3) Types of School Choice Average Program Scores for Each Regulation Category's Removal; and (4) Current School Choice Programs within the Analyzed Program Types.
