Prognosis

Not enough signal yet

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Based on stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes, and cross-state momentum — a description of the observable signals, not a prediction.

Summary

Increases the percentage of the contribution allowed to be claimed for the school scholarship tax credit (tax credit) from 50% to 75%. Allows taxpayers that commit to making a contribution of at least the same amount for at least two consecutive years to claim the tax credit in an amount equal to 90% of the amount of the contribution. Increases the total amount of tax credits that may be awarded for a state fiscal year from $18,500,000 to $80,000,000. Provides a calculation for an annual increase of the total amount of tax credits for future state fiscal years based on the tax credit's usage. Expands the definition of "participating school" for purposes of the certification of scholarship granting organizations by removing language providing for accreditation and administration of tests under the statewide assessment program or other norm-referenced assessment of the school's students. Requires the receipt prescribed by the department of state revenue for use in an agreement to be a scholarship granting organization to include whether a taxpayer commits to making contributions of at least the same amount for at least two consecutive years.
