What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a nonrefundable individual income tax credit for interest payments paid by a claimant on a loan that is used for the claimant's educational expenses. Under the bill, the credit may be claimed for any amount of interest paid by the claimant on a loan, the proceeds of which are used to pay for tuition, fees, books, room and board, and educational supplies that are directly related to the claimant's attendance at a regionally accredited, nonprofit, postsecondary educational institution.
The maximum amount of credits that may be claimed each year is $15,000,000.

The bill requires the department of revenue to create a procedure to ensure that this limit is not exceeded.
Because the credit is nonrefundable, it may be claimed only up to the amount of a claimant's income tax liability. The credit may not be claimed by nonresidents or part-year residents of this state.
