Cost shift

Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

The bill would let the state give a tax credit for parental choice, but only after the Department of Human Services and the Health Care Authority check applicants' income and require other entities to send proof to the tax commission.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Families could lose an easy way to get the credit because they must now prove their income and wait for state checks; the state says this stops fraud and protects tax dollars, so now is the time to decide if extra paperwork is worth it.
