Bill > S1871

This bill proposes to create a Grade Improvement Tax Credit (GITC) in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. The GITC would provide a tax credit of $750 to $2,200 to individuals who help others improve their academic grade level by at least one grade. The credit amount can be adjusted over time based on inflation and regulations set by the Massachusetts Department of Education. 2. The Department of Education will establish standards for approving individuals who wish to assist others in improving their grade level. 3. Detailed records of the program's results will be kept and regularly analyzed to measure its effectiveness and make necessary adjustments. The intent of the bill is to encourage competent volunteers to help individuals who desire to continue improving their knowledge and skills, by facilitating the connection between them and providing a tax incentive for the volunteers.
