Provides that any credit in excess of the tax liability shall be refunded to the taxpayer. Provides that the pupil must be (i) a resident of Illinois, (ii) under 21 years of age at the close of the school year for which the credit is sought, and (iii) a full-time pupil enrolled in a kindergarten through twelfth grade education program at any public or nonpublic elementary school that meets certain standards.
