AI Summary

This bill proposes to create a Grade Improvement Tax Credit (GITC) in Massachusetts. The GITC would provide a tax credit of between $750 and $2,200 to individuals (referred to as "Assisting Sponsors") who help others improve their academic grade level by at least one grade. The Massachusetts Department of Education would be responsible for establishing the standards and regulations for the program, including approving individuals who wish to assist others in improving their grade level. The goal of the GITC is to encourage competent volunteers to help those who desire to continue improving their knowledge and skills.
