Higher Ed-Prepaid Tuition-Tax

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Act. Provides that the intent of the Act is to both encourage and better enable Illinois families to help themselves finance the cost of higher education through a program that provides Illinois families with a method of State tax-free and federally tax-deferred, tax-exempt savings (instead of just tax-deferred savings) for higher education (instead of for college tuition). Removes a provision that provides that once a partial benefit of a prepaid tuition contract has been disbursed, any tax liability attributable to the contract and its assets becomes a tax liability of the qualified beneficiary, unless otherwise specified in the contract. Effective immediately.
