Title
Revise laws related to tax credit scholarship and innovative education programs
Description
PFPS Summary: HB 279 modifies Montana’s tax credit voucher program by increasing the amount of the 100 percent tax credit for donations to from $150 to $200,000. It reduces the cap on the size of the program from $3 million to $1 million in 2021 and $2 million the following year, but provides that in the future it will increase by 20 percent in any year in which 80 percent of the cap is used. The bill also eliminates limits on the size of the voucher a student can receive and a requirement that voucher schools administer and publish the results of standardized tests.
