In questioning, the committee learned that the bill would cost the state even more than the proposed $1 million/biennium in business tax credits and that the bill guaranteed that once students get vouchers, they can continue to receive them annually until they graduate or reach age 21. A further inconsistency is that while the bill would make the state financially responsible for the staff required to administer the program, it does not fund that expense. Given these shortcomings, an amendment was offered which attempted to strip the bill of its fiscal responsibilities. This was defeated by a bipartisan majority for any one of a number of reasons: 1) that the amendment, in fact, failed to relieve the state of responsibility for funding the administrative staff, 2) that it continued the state's responsibility to reimburse expenses for the legislative members of the board, 3) that the state could be liable for legal challenges to Article 28A and other constitutional issues, 4) that the Senate could reinstate the funding in a committee of conference, 5) that it expanded government by broadening its reach into an area which even the prime sponsor agreed could be achieved through private endowment or contributions, and 6) that by stripping the tax credits from this bill, the remaining shell is a state-sponsored structure open to state funding for school voucher programs, including non-public programs, a practice which the House has consistently rejected, most recently on March 9."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep.

The Department assumed costs to implement this bill would include modifications to the computer system, changes to the tax forms, tracking the amount of the tax credits, and dealing with taxpayer issues, such as appeals. The Department is not able to determine the impact in FY 2006 since this bill is effective upon passage, and the actual date is not known.\n\nThe Department of Education stated there were 22,736 non-public school children in New Hampshire for the 2004-05 school year. The Department does not have the information on family income necessary to determine how many families would qualify for the scholarships and is not able to estimate how many families would apply.", "in_text": [], "chars": 18571}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 193-C": "/laws/193-c", "RSA 77": "/laws/77", "RSA 77-E": "/laws/77-e", "RSA 193-I:8": "/laws/193-i", "RSA 193-I:7": "/laws/193-i", "RSA 193-I": "/laws/193-i"}, "amends": {"RSA 77": "/laws/77", "RSA 77-E": "/laws/77-e"}}
