Why it matters
The tax credit could provide educational support for New York families, potentially covering costs for tutoring, special needs services, books, or educational technology. The proposed regulations are expected to clarify how scholarship organizations operate and how benefits such as tutoring will function.
Kathy Hochul's state and another state are participating in the tax credit program.
