What this bill actually does

The bill adds early childhood educators to the existing classroom expense tax deduction. K-12 teachers already qualify for this tax break.
The bill changes the covered school levels to early childhood, elementary, and secondary education. That means pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
The change would apply to expenses from tax years that start after December 31, 2024.
