Democrats in the State Legislature Push for Child Tax Credit Expansion

Democrats in the state legislature want to expand the state's child tax credit for working families.

Under the proposed legislation, the credit would increase to $1500 per child, up from $500.

It would take effect in 2024 for the upcoming taxable year. It would benefit couples with children earning less than $50,000, or single parents earning below $25,000.

The credit would be paid quarterly to families to help them pay bills, with a goal of helping reduce poverty.
