AN ACT implementing the federal education opportunity program in Kentucky.

This bill opts Kentucky into a federal program that provides tax credits for donations made to organizations that fund elementary and secondary school scholarships. The Secretary of State is designated to manage Kentucky's participation, including filing required paperwork with the federal government and setting up program rules. Donations made through this program would not count as deductions on Kentucky individual income taxes. Who it may affect: families with school-age children, donors to scholarship-granting organizations, and nonprofit organizations that award educational scholarships.
