Bill > S1705

This bill proposes to create a Grade Improvement Tax Credit (GITC) program in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. The program will provide a tax credit of between $750 and $2,200 to individuals, known as "Assisting Sponsors," who help others improve their academic grade level by at least one grade. The specific credit amount will be adjustable based on analysis and regulations set by the Massachusetts Department of Education. 2. The Department of Education will establish standards for approving individuals who wish to assist others in improving their grade level, as well as other relevant standards and regulations for the program. 3. The program aims to encourage competent volunteers to connect with individuals who desire to continue improving their knowledge and skills, and to facilitate the recording and analysis of the program's results to measure its effectiveness.
