Illinois SR0383 urges Governor JB Pritzker to opt Illinois into the Educational Choice for Children Act.

Illinois SR0383, the Educational Choice Act, urges Governor JB Pritzker to opt Illinois into the Educational Choice for Children Act. This act, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, provides a federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for donations to Scholarship Granting Organizations. These organizations help low-income families pay for K-12 education expenses, including fees, tutoring, and transportation. The act aims to increase funding for these organizations, offering families more educational choices. Currently, 35 states have similar programs, but Illinois' Invest in Kids Act expired in 2023.
