SB1142 Vetoed: Federal Tax Credit; Scholarships
Summary
Arizona Governor vetoed SB1142 on April 13, 2026. The bill would have authorized a state election to participate in a federal tax credit program for individual contributions made to scholarship-granting organizations. The measure passed the Senate (16-11-3) and the House (33-26-1) along near-party-line votes before being vetoed.
What changed
SB1142 was vetoed by the Arizona Governor before it could become law. The bill would have authorized Arizona to elect participation in a federal tax credit for individual contributions to scholarship-granting organizations, effectively creating a state-level mechanism to leverage a federal tax incentive for private education scholarship donations. No new compliance obligations were created, as the bill did not take effect.
For organizations and donors active in the Arizona scholarship-granting organization (SGO) space, the vetoed pathway for a federal tax credit will not be available under this bill. SGO operators and prospective individual contributors should continue to monitor Arizona legislative activity for any future proposals addressing scholarship organization incentives.
