Introduced
by
To allow an individual to choose to automatically contribute $5 or more from his or her state income tax refund to a state account that would give money to public school teachers who claim to have spent their own money on classroom supplies. This bill creates a state fund that would distribute money to school districts, and House Bill 5955 authorizes the tax breaks. Note: Under a <a href="http://www.michigan.gov/documents/fees_guidance_2003_122775_7.pdf">1970 Supreme Court ruling</a>, school districts are required to provide an array of necessary classroom supplies at no cost to students' families (or to teachers).
