Bill Summary
This bill relates to participation in the federal tax credit program for individual contributions to scholarship granting organizations. A scholarship granting organization is a nonprofit entity that provides scholarships to eligible elementary and secondary school children attending a nonpublic school. The bill requires the governor to elect to participate in the federal tax credit established by section 25F of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The bill requires the department of revenue and the department of education follow all federal laws and regulations to administer the federal tax credit established by section 25F of the IRC to ensure the state is eligible to participate in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and shall annually submit all required information to the secretary of the treasury of the United States for participation. A scholarship granting organization may provide scholarships to eligible students in the amount of $1,700 per year for any qualified elementary or secondary school expenses to the extent allowed by federal law.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the governor officially opt into a federal program that offers tax credits to individuals who donate to scholarship granting organizations, which are non-profit groups providing financial aid for elementary and secondary students attending private schools. To ensure the state can participate in this program, starting with tax years after January 1, 2027, the state's Department of Revenue and Department of Education must adhere to all federal rules and regulations for administering the tax credit, including submitting necessary information annually to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. The bill also specifies that these scholarship organizations can award up to $1,700 per year per student for qualified educational expenses, as permitted by federal law.
