The Scrap Parental Bill
Idaho moves to scrap parental choice tax credit
Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to repeal and replace the Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit and the Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit Advance Payment Fund.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, families would lose the state tax break that helped pay for private school tuition.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Parents may have to spend more of their own money on school choices, while the state keeps the tax dollars it would have given away. This could limit options for families now that the bill is being discussed.
