AI Summary
This bill amends the Hope Scholarship Program, which provides funds for parents to meet their child's educational needs, by adding a new requirement for eligibility. Specifically, it introduces a cap on the amount of family income that qualifies for the scholarship, stating that a parent or parents' combined federal adjusted gross income must be less than $150,000 for the taxable year in which they apply to participate in the program. The Hope Scholarship Program allows parents to use scholarship funds for qualifying education expenses for their eligible child, and this bill now limits access to these funds based on a family's income level.
