EFTC Status in Wisconsin
Governor Tony Evers (D) vetoed AB 602 on March 30, 2026, blocking Wisconsin's participation in the federal scholarship tax credit. Evers said the program lacks student achievement metrics, school accountability measures, scholarship size limits, an end date, and a federal spending cap. Wisconsin taxpayers can still claim the federal credit, but their donations will fund scholarships in other states.
