  PL 2015, c. 267,
  Pt. QQQ expanded the educational opportunity tax credit to include
  consolidated loans for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016. This
  legislation provides that consolidated loans are eligible in tax year 2015
  provided that the consolidated loans only include educational loans. This
  would reduce General Fund revenue by $24,500 in fiscal year 2015-16 and
  reduce Local Government Fund revenue by $500 in fiscal year 2015-16. |
