Bill > HR2171

This bill, the Freedom To Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act, amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow certain expenses associated with obtaining or maintaining recognized postsecondary credentials to be treated as qualified higher education expenses for the purposes of 529 accounts. This includes tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for enrollment or attendance in a recognized postsecondary credential program, as well as fees to obtain or maintain such a credential, including certificate or certification programs accredited by national organizations. The bill defines a "recognized postsecondary credential program" as a program to obtain a credential that is included on a list prepared under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act or meets the prerequisites to qualify an individual to take an examination required to obtain or maintain the credential.
