One proposed bill would give up to $1,000 in tax credits to families whose children go to college in state. "No cost of college life has increased more faster than text books and that's saying something," said State Sen. Scott Bennett, 52nd District.A third bill would give more flexibility to students receiving MAP grants beyond paying for classes and fees.
"So these students will be able to take what's left over in the MAP grants and apply that to things like books, supplies, electronics, that they need to purchase in order to achieve their education," said State Sen. Laura Fine, 9th District.Don't expect immediate relief from these ideas. The bills are not expected to make it to a vote before the Illinois legislative session ends next week.
