Description
Education improvement scholarships tax credit; eligibility requirements and benefits for students with a disability. Expands the education improvement scholarships tax credit program by removing the requirement that a child with a disability be a student enrolled or recently enrolled in public school in order to be eligible. The bill reduces the penalty for failure to fully disburse all donations received from 200 percent to 100 percent of unused donations. The bill increases the scholarship amount available for an eligible child with a disability from 100 percent to 400 percent of the per-pupil amount distributed to the local school division as the state's share of the standards of quality costs.
