Authorize income tax checkoff for teacher grants

Introduced in the House

Oct. 29, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Nate Shannon (D-25)

To authorize an income tax check off for taxpayers who want to pay extra and have the money go into a separate state account to give $1,000 grants to some teachers. A taxpayer could “nominate” a particular teacher to get a grant, but the actual recipients would be selected by officials at the state Department of Education.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
