Summary
Sen. Gregory Bell is on to something. Somehow, state lawmakers need to hedge college students from increases in college tuition. For some students, those hikes mean they must postpone college graduation to work or they may not complete their studies.
Bell, R-Fruit Heights, has proposed giving students or families paying college tuition a $300 income tax credit -- even if the family's or individual's tax bill isn't that high. The credit would be made available to those who earn less than $30,000 a year. Bell told the Deseret Morning News that the bill would ease the cost of tuition and may enable more students to enroll in and complete college without incurring large debt. Early estimates suggest the bill would cost the state $9 million to $20 million a year.See the full content of this document
