Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act and the Illinois Income Tax Act. Authorizes the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to establish systems and programs to encourage employers to match employee contributions to prepaid programs of college savings by making donations to the Commission for prepaid programs of college savings and its programs of grants and loans to make higher education affordable for all residents of the State and to receive, hold, and disburse all such funds made available through those programs for the purposes for which they are authorized by rule or by law. Creates an income tax credit for employers who, during the taxable year, make a matching donation on behalf of an employee. Provides that the credit is 25% of the matching donation, but not to exceed $500 per employee. Provides that the credit may be carried forward for 3 taxable years. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Removes language from the introduced bill that allows the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to establish systems and programs to encourage employers to match employee contributions to prepaid programs of college savings by making donations to the Commission's programs of grants and loans.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
35 ILCS 5/203from Ch. 120, par. 2-203

Further amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Creates an addition modification in an amount equal to the credit claimed by the taxpayer for matching contributions to a qualified college savings plan. Provides that the credit for matching contributions may be carried forward for 5 taxable years (instead of 3 taxable years). Makes other changes.
