Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Nationwide Education Tax Credit Program
The proclamation states that the President signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which creates a nationwide tax credit program. Any taxpayer can reduce what they owe the Government by contributing to a scholarship-granting organization, and families can use those scholarships to pick the education that fits their children.
New 'Trump Account' for Newborns
The proclamation says the One Big Beautiful Bill gives every American newborn a "Trump Account" to make it easier for families to use 529 accounts for elementary and high school, not just college. This is intended to help families save and pay for K–12 education costs through 529-style accounts.
Federal Funding Removed for Certain Schools
The proclamation states the Administration is eliminating Federal funding for schools that permit discriminatory treatment and what it calls "anti-American indoctrination." Schools that lose federal funding may face financial consequences that affect students and families who use those schools.
Federal Guidance to Support K–12 Scholarships
The proclamation states the President signed an Executive Order directing the Department of Education to issue guidance so States can use Federal funding formulas to support K–12 scholarship programs and to prioritize school choice programs in the Department's grant programs. This could affect how States access and apply federal funds to expand scholarships for K–12 students.
