Bill > S1918

This bill proposes to create a Grade Improvement Tax Credit (GITC) in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. The GITC will provide a tax credit of $750 to $2,200 (adjustable for inflation) to individuals who assist others in improving their academic grade level by at least one grade. 2. The Massachusetts Department of Education will establish reasonable standards for testing individuals' competence levels and approving those who wish to assist others in improving their grade levels. 3. Educational organizations, including accredited schools and other appropriate institutions, can register volunteers to participate in the program and connect them with individuals seeking to improve their academic performance. 4. Detailed records of the program's results will be kept and analyzed regularly to measure its effectiveness and make necessary adjustments. The overall aim of the bill is to encourage and facilitate competent volunteers to help individuals who wish to continue improving their knowledge and skills, particularly in areas where they may have had limited exposure in the past.
