Indiana HB1149 establishes a tax credit for contributions to early childhood scholarship granting organizations, providing scholarships for children.

HB1149 introduces an early childhood scholarship tax credit for contributions to organizations that provide scholarships for children attending qualified early child care providers. The credit equals 50% of the contribution amount. The bill defines "qualified child" as a child residing in Indiana and aged six or under, and "qualified early child care provider" as a licensed child care center, home, or ministry, or a state-accredited school. The Department of Education must certify these organizations, which must report annually and undergo financial audits.
