AI Summary

This bill aims to prevent the diversion of public revenue to private schools. It does this by amending the Massachusetts tax code to include withdrawals from state-sponsored college savings accounts (known as "529 accounts") used to pay for elementary or secondary school expenses as taxable income. The bill specifies that such withdrawals will be attributed first to the earnings and gains on the 529 account, then to previous tax-deductible contributions, and finally to already-taxed contributions. Additionally, the bill excludes elementary and secondary school expenses from the definition of "qualified higher education expenses" for 529 account purposes.
