Legislators Pass School Tax Credits Bill

The Arizona legislature has approved a bill to create new school tax credits to help foster care and disabled students attend private schools. The bill now goes to Governor Jan Brewer, who called the lawmakers into a special session last week on that issue.

The Arizona Republic reports that the bill creates corporate tax credits for business donations to groups that provide students with tuition grants.

The law is a reaction to an Arizona Supreme Court ruling that says two voucher programs for foster care and disabled children are unconstitutional.
