HB0199SW001

This amendment changes the scholarship award structure from a single maximum amount to a tiered income-based system with four distinct funding levels based on household income relative to federal poverty guidelines.

• Changes the bill's description from 'increasing the maximum scholarship award' to 'modifying the amounts to be deposited in students' accounts' to reflect the shift from a single maximum amount to an income-based tiered structure. (Page 1, line 6)
• Replaces the single scholarship amount of $7,000 with a four-tier income-based system: $6,000 for students at or below 150% of federal poverty level; $4,800 for students above 150% but at or below 200%; $3,600 for students above 200% but at or below 250%; and no funding for students above 250% of federal poverty level. (Page 5, lines 2-11)
