💨 Abstract

A Republican push to expand private school vouchers nationwide faced a significant hurdle when the Senate parliamentarian ruled that the proposal violated procedural rules. The plan, aiming to create federal tax credits for scholarships to private schools, was deemed ineligible for the reconciliation package, dealing a major blow to its proponents. The ruling also affected another education plan that would have exempted religious colleges from a federal endowment tax.
