          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Educational Opportunities Act &lt;/b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;of 2023&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill allows individual taxpayers a tax credit for charitable contributions to a scholarship granting organization. The bill allows a maximum credit amount of $4,500 ($2,250 for a married individual filing a separate return). A &lt;i&gt;scholarship granting organization&lt;/i&gt; is a tax-exempt entity whose exclusive purpose is to provide scholarships for the tuition and other education expenses of elementary and secondary school students from low-income households (i.e., household income not exceeding 250% of federal poverty guidelines).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill allows corporate taxpayers a tax credit, up to $100,000, for contributions to a scholarship granting organization. It also imposes a penalty on scholarship granting organizations that fail to distribute at least 90% of their total receipts for elementary and secondary school expenses in a taxable year.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
