AI Summary
This bill, the "Educational Choice for Children Act," amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow individuals and corporations to claim a tax credit for charitable contributions to nonprofit scholarship granting organizations that provide scholarships for qualified elementary and secondary education expenses of eligible students. The bill also establishes a volume cap on the total amount of qualifying contributions that can be claimed for the tax credit, requires scholarship granting organizations to meet certain requirements, and exempts scholarship funds from being included in the recipient's gross income. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect the autonomy of scholarship organizations and parental choice in using the scholarships.
