A State Lawmakers is introducing a package of bills that he says will help Illinois take advantage of federal tax reforms. State Representative Peter Breen wants state law to mirror federal law in regards to 529 college savings accounts, so that parents in Illinois can use that money for K-12 education as well. Additionally, he’d like to see the new “Invest in Kids” program expanded.
Breen is also seeking to stop small business owners with no employees from having to pay unemployment insurance on themselves.
