Title
Special Needs Opportunity Scholarship Program
Description
PFPS Summary: Utah's HB4003 establishes a new scholarship program for students with special needs beginning in 2021. Utah students in grades 1-12 who have an IEP or are determined by a multidisciplinary evaluation team to be eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The amount of an eligible student's scholarship is determined based on the student's family's income, with more funds available to students from lower-income families (at or below 185% of the federal poverty level). The program provides for a nonrefundable tax credit to taxpayers who donate to the program. In 2021, donations will be capped at $5,940,000 (caps for subsequent years will be dependent on the amount of donations in the previous year).
