AI Summary
This bill, the Educational Choice for Children Act, would amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow a tax credit for individuals and corporations that make charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations that provide education scholarships to eligible elementary and secondary students. The bill sets out requirements for these "scholarship granting organizations" and establishes a $10 billion annual volume cap on the tax credits. The bill also exempts from gross income any scholarship amounts provided to eligible students for qualified elementary or secondary education expenses, and includes provisions to protect the autonomy of the scholarship organizations and the ability of parents to use the scholarships at private or faith-based schools.
