What it does
The Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act would repeal the federal tax credit for individual contributions to scholarship granting organizations, which typically fund private school tuition, and eliminate the corresponding exclusion from gross income for such contributions. The bill affects individuals who currently claim these tax benefits and the scholarship granting organizations that rely on donor contributions incentivized by the credit. The changes would apply to taxable years ending after December 31, 2026, with the income exclusion applying to amounts received after that date.
