HB 11-1048 – Concerning the Creation of Income Tax Credits for Nonpublic Education has been moved to the House Finance Committee. The bill is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, February 9th at 1:30 p.m.


PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT HB 1048.


This legislation would establish a private school tuition income tax credit for income tax years commencing on or after January 1, 2012. The tax credit would allow any taxpayer to claim a credit when a private school issues the taxpayer a credit certificate for enrolling a dependent qualified child in the private school or when the taxpayer awards a scholarship to a qualified child for enrollment in the private school.

As a large provider of private education in Colorado the Catholic Church believes Colorado receives an enormous financial benefit and substantial contribution to society from Catholic Schools. Therefore, we should help find ways that allow families to have options in education and HB 1048 is a good step in that direction.
