The only proposed rule for Alabama's new private school tax credits that's raising any concern is one saying the credits don't apply for children already in private school.
Alabama's Revenue Department planned a full day Thursday for a public hearing about its proposed rules for implementing the new Alabama Accountability Act. Few people showed up.
The new law provides state tax credits for parents who transfer their children from a failing public school to a private school.
The senior policy counsel for the Alabama Policy Institute, Katherine Robertson, says the group believes the Revenue Department erred in ruling the tax credits don't apply to students already in private school.
Revenue Commissioner Julie Magee says she doesn't expect to make major changes in the proposed rules.
