AI Summary

This bill proposes to create a Literacy Tax Credit (LTC) in Massachusetts, which would provide a tax credit of no less than $750 and up to $2,200 to individuals designated as Literacy Sponsors (LS) who help bring someone to literacy through a Literacy Training Lesson Program (LTLP). The bill aims to improve literacy and education in the Commonwealth, and it requires the Massachusetts Department of Education to establish standards for approving individuals who wish to assist others in becoming literate, as well as other relevant standards and regulations. The program's results will be recorded, analyzed, and made publicly available to measure and improve its effectiveness.
