AI Summary
This bill enacts a new law allowing the State of Oklahoma to participate in a federal income tax credit program that incentivizes individual contributions to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs). An SGO is defined as a tax-exempt organization that meets specific federal requirements for awarding scholarships. The Governor is authorized to sign necessary agreements with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Oklahoma Tax Commission will be responsible for identifying and listing eligible SGOs in Oklahoma, as well as managing administrative and compliance functions related to the federal credit. The bill also directs the Oklahoma Tax Commission to coordinate with existing state tax credits for SGO contributions, create necessary rules and forms, and ensure that SGOs comply with federal guidelines regarding scholarship awards, student eligibility, and contribution restrictions. This election to participate in the federal credit program will remain in effect as long as federal law permits, and the act will become effective on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation.
