Bill Ohm", "committee": "Ways and Means", "vote_yeas": 14, "vote_nays": 6, "text": "This bill, with the amendment recommended by the committee, promotes school choices for those that might not otherwise be able to afford it. The bill implements a scholarship program for New Hampshire similar to those that are successful in 8 other states, and was created here by melding the best practices of all the other programs. This legislation is similar to HB1607, establishing an education tax credit, which passed the House 173-127, and it remains revenue neutral. The school choice scholarships, managed by non-profit scholarship organizations, are funded by donations from businesses who receive tax credits when they donate. The program works as follows: if parents of limited means wish to send their kids to a non-public school, or a different public school that agrees to accept them, they may apply for a scholarship from an approved non-profit scholarship organization. The average scholarship would be $2,500. Home schoolers would also qualify, but their scholarship amount would only cover materials and is limited to $625. Businesses who choose to donate to such scholarship organizations would receive a tax credit of 85% of their donation. This tax credit would apply to their BET or BPT tax liability. The program is designed to ramp up more slowly during the first fifteen years and is structured to mitigate local fiscal impacts. To address the concerns that local school districts may be unfairly hit by a sudden reduction in state aid, the committee amendment provides for a \"Scholarship Stabilization Grant\" that holds the districts harmless above a certain threshold, yet is revenue neutral for the state for the next biennium, and most likely the distant future. If the reduction in state aid exceeds 0.25% of the school district's total appropriation, then the state will make up the difference with a \"State Scholarship Stabilization Grant\". For example, if a district's total appropriation is $30 million, then the reduction in state aid would be limited to $75,000, which is the cap when 30 students leave the school district. Adjustments in the program were made to provide for savings to fund the stabilization grants such as: reducing the cap on home schoolers and not counting them in the average calculation; ensuring that at least 70% of scholarships are awarded to students in public school districts that currently receive a state education grant (called \"switchers\") for the first 2 years of the program; and reducing the 70% minimum by 5% a year through year 15. At the same time there will be a reduction in school district expenses due to these students choosing to leave public schools. To further assist low income families, the bill requires that a minimum of 40% of the scholarships go to students eligible for free and reduced lunches. The bill as amended will be revenue neutral or positive over the next biennium."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Christine C Hamm", "committee": "Ways and Means", "text": "This bill offers tax credits to businesses, thus excusing them from paying business taxes to the state in exchange for using those same dollars to provide scholarships for students enrolled in private or religious schools or as stipends for home-schooled students. While proponents argue that it evens the playing field by providing an opportunity for families of all income levels to opt for alternatives to public school education, because these subsidies are capped at a level significantly below the actual cost of private school education, the beneficiaries would be limited to families who home-school their children or to students who live near a private school willing and able to provide additional subsidies. Since many of the children receiving scholarships would have attended private school anyway, this seems a poor use of public resources. In order to benefit this small demographic, the loss of business tax revenues would have an increasingly negative impact upon the state's and local school districts' budgets, thus resulting in an overall increase in local property taxes. The department of education projects that the immediate loss to a school district would be $4,267 per pupil and that the net loss to school districts statewide would increase from $3.7 million the first year to $6.3 million in 28 Year Three. While DOE estimates show no loss to the state budget in the first two years, after that, losses would mount continuously as the bill's highly complex formulas change. If the program grows at the projected rate of 50% the first two years and 25% beyond that, in 10 years the state, and by extension local school districts, will have sacrificed more than $130 million in unearned tax revenue. Since this is money no longer available to be passed along to local school districts, the loss will become an increasingly difficult pill for local property taxpayers to swallow. Such a budgetary hit becomes even harder for the minority to accept when we realize the stipulations included in the bill---upon both donors and recipients---are difficult, if not impossible to enforce, thus leaving the law open to abuse. In addition, despite the large shift in state resources, this bill fails to provide for the same kind of academic accountability required of the state's public schools. It should also be noted that in 1967, 1969 and 1992, the state Supreme Court issued opinions that could be used as precedents in cases against this legislation. Part I, Article 6 of our state constitution states in part, \"No person shall ever be compelled to pay towards the support of the schools of any sect or denomination,\" while Part II, Article 83 states in part, \"Provided nevertheless, that no money raised by taxation shall ever be granted or applied for the use of the schools of institutions of any religious sect or denomination.\" As the 1969 case dealt specifically with tax credits and as our state constitution is quite explicit on this issue, the success of a legal challenge arguing that businesses are being used only as an intermediary to deny a direct, unconstitutional, connection between the taxpayer and a religious school, is a real possibility--- the recent case of Arizona v Wynn notwithstanding since this decision affected only the federal level. The minority believes that this complex, constantly-amended, bill undermines our state's highly-regarded public education system, while providing little meaningful benefit to the majority of New Hampshire's citizens and ever more significant stress to the pocketbooks of local property taxpayers."}], "source": "House Calendar 37, 2012", "date": "2012-05-11", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 37", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2012%5CNo%2037%20May%2011%202012.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2012-03-08", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Education", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "2012-1128s", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 11", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2012%5CNo%2011%20March%2015%202012.pdf"}, {"date": "2012-03-22", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Finance", "side": "", "recommendation": "REFERRED TO INTERIM STUDY", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 12", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2012%5CNo%2012%20March%2022%202012.pdf"}, {"date": "2012-03-28", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Finance", "side": "", "recommendation": "REFERRED TO INTERIM STUDY", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "", "cite_url": ""}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": {"bill": "SB372", "text": ["By the authority vested in me, pursuant to part II, Article 44 of the New Hampshire Constitution, on June 18, 2012, I vetoed SB 372, an act establishing an education credit against the business profits tax.", "SB 372 establishes an education tax credit against the State's business profits tax for business organizations that contribute to non-profit \"scholarship organizations\", which award scholarships to be used by students to defray the educational expenses of attending an independent school, as well as grants to defray the cost of home-schooling. Beginning in the first year of the program and for several years thereafter, a majority of the scholarships, which initially average $2,500 per student, must be awarded to students who are switching from public to private schools. For each contribution to a non-profit scholarship organization, a business is eligible for an 85% tax credit against the business profits tax.", "This bill shifts limited state funds away from public school districts, it will downshift the cost of reduced adequacy payments to local communities and property tax payers, it allows private organizations to determine the use of public education funds, and does not fully target scholarship funds to students most in need of help with tuition and other educational expenses. For all of these reasons, I have decided to veto this legislation.", "SB 372 requires that for each student receiving a scholarship, the Department of Education reduce the per pupil adequacy payment (base per pupil aid, plus additional amounts for free and reduced lunch, special education, and English Language Learners) from the scholarship recipient's school district's grant for the upcoming school year. The recipient's school district will lose between $3,450 and $8,381 per recipient. Importantly, this will occur after the school district budget is passed for the coming year, but before the tax rate is set. Therefore, the loss of state funds for scholarship recipients will most likely be downshifted to local property taxpayers to make up for state funds anticipated but not received from the state.", "Proponents of this bill believe that school districts may save up to $500 per student in operating costs due to students switching to private schools. But the vast majority of costs incurred in operating schools are fixed costs that are incurred even if some students switch to private school. The loss of students from the public schools as a result of these scholarships will not meaningfully reduce school operating costs. Even accounting for the state stabilization grants that would be paid to schools that lose state adequacy grants and the reduction of some variable costs from the loss of scholarship students, the Department of Education has calculated that bill will collectively cost school districts $3,687,861 in year one, $5,472,119 in year two and $6,330,646 in year three. Struggling school districts and local taxpayers cannot afford that loss.", "SB 372 will also allow private, non-profit corporations to determine where public education dollars are spent. This bill does not identify those organizations beyond requiring that they be nonprofits, register with the state's Charitable Trust Division and comply with applicable state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
