SB 422 - This act creates a check-off on Missouri income tax returns allowing taxpayers to contribute to the After-School retreat reading and assessment grant program fund. Monetary contributions received will be deposited in to the fund to be administered by the Department of Elementary and Secondary education. The department will distribute such money, in the form of grants, to targeted schools to fund the development of programs which are educational in nature, with emphasis in reading and student reading assessment as opposed to day-care oriented programs. The provisions of this act shall automatically sunset if not re-authorized. JASON ZAMKUS
