Bill > SB0054

This bill amends the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship Program by clarifying eligibility requirements for students, including those with qualified disabilities and military families, and expanding the definition of eligible scholarship expenses to include physical education and therapy services, while also introducing new provisions for verifying primary residence and allowing for out-of-state military families to receive scholarships. It also modifies the scholarship award amounts for preschool students based on enrollment status, establishes deadlines for scholarship acceptance, and allows the State Tax Commission to share income tax information for residency verification with consent. Furthermore, the bill updates reporting requirements for scholarship granting organizations, clarifies rules for eligible private schools and service providers, and adjusts the process for issuing tax credit certificates for donations, including provisions for claiming credits in previous tax years under certain conditions.
