| FL | Signed into law 06/2011 | P-12 | From Legislative Staff Summary: Eliminates a current restriction for the corporate income tax credit and insurance premium tax, that eligible contributions made to eligible scholarship-funding organizations may not exceed 75% of the taxpayer's tax due for the taxable year.. Currently, a taxpayer may rescind all or part of an approved tax credit. The amount rescinded may become available to another eligible taxpayer during that fiscal year under certain circumstances. One current restriction on those amounts becoming available to another taxpayer is that the taxpayer rescinding all or part of an approved tax credit may not have previously rescinded any or all of its approved tax credits more than once in the previous three tax years. The bill removes this restriction. http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Documents/loaddoc.aspx?FileName=_h0965er.docx&DocumentType=Bill&BillNumber=0965&Session=2011

| GA | Signed into law 05/2011 | P-12 | Expands definition of "eligible student" to include 1st graders (previously included only students in a qualified kindergarten or pre-kindergarten program), and allow participants to continue to qualify until the student reaches age 20, graduates, or returns to a public school, whichever occurs first. Expands definition of qualified school or program to include a nonpublic pre-kindergarten program. Requires that the maximium scholarship amount a student scholarship organization may give in any year may not exceed the average state and local expenditures per student in fall enrollment in public K-12 for the state, which amount must be annually published by the department of education by January 1.

Establishes penalties for any student scholarship organization that fails to comply with any statutory requirements within 90 days of notification of deficiencies. Prohibits student scholarship organizations from awarding a scholarship to a specific eligible student at a donor's request, or encouraging or facilitating taxpayers to engage in illegal actions. Provides that it is a misdemeanor for any officer or director of a student scholarship organization to actively participate in actions that are an intentional violation of a student scholarship organization's obligations.
Permits an entity other than a private individual, head of household, married couple or corporation to be allowed a tax credit. Allows the aggregate amount of tax credits allowed to increase annually until January 2018. Directs the tax commissioner to provide written notice to the taxpayer and the student scholarship organization of preapproval or denial of an amount a potential donor wishes to contribute to a student scholarship organization. Calls for the development of a Web-based donation approval process. Calls for development of an ongoing, current list on a Web site of the amount of tax credits available.
