Subject: | College Savings Plans |
In the near future, I will be introducing two pieces of legislation to enhance and protect college savings plans of Pennsylvania families. In 2006, Pennsylvania passed legislation to allow for a tax deduction for contributions to a college savings plan. This law provides for a deduction regardless which college savings plan the individual chose to contribute to. I propose to build on this law by amending two other current statutes. Hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania families utilize college savings plans to prepare for the financial investment of higher education – be it for themselves, their children, their grandchildren or other family members. College costs have risen significantly in recent years across the nation at public and private colleges where many of Pennsylvania families send their children to college. Other states offer these incentives and protections to their taxpayers. It’s time Pennsylvania make these updates and enhancements available. |
