INVEST IN KIDS-REENACT

The bill IL SB3793 aims to make the Invest in Kids Act a permanent law in Illinois. This act provides tax credits for donations to scholarship programs that help low-income students attend private schools. It also includes updates to the Illinois Income Tax Act to align with this change.

Supporters of the bill argue that making the Invest in Kids Act permanent will ensure continued financial support for families seeking educational opportunities for their children. They believe this will promote school choice and help students from low-income backgrounds access quality education.

Critics of the bill contend that making the Invest in Kids Act permanent could divert much-needed funding from public schools to private institutions. They argue that this could exacerbate inequalities in the education system and undermine public education funding.
