This legislation will double the amount allowable as an income tax
credit from charitable contributions to primary and secondary
education, libraries, public television, and university related
research parks, and foundations for the benefit of education.

$2,104,541 and 298 businesses used section 63-3030A for a cost of
$55,661.15. The impact of doubling the tax credit would put the cost
per return at $120.04 and $373.56 respectively. The estimated cost of
this legislation is $2 million.
