俄克拉荷马拟借鉴德州经验推"强家庭税收抵免" 州议会今日开专题研讨会

据《俄克拉荷马人报》10 月 11 日报道,俄克拉荷马州共和党人正考虑推出一项仿照德州模式的"强家庭税收抵免"(Strong Families Tax Credit)计划,相关专题研讨会定于 10 月 12 日上午 9 点半在州议会大厦举行。
该计划由州众议员妮可·米勒牵头组织,邀请多位嘉宾分享经验,其中包括前坦帕湾海盗队和印第安纳波利斯小马队主教练托尼·邓吉。他与他人共同创办的非盈利组织"全心父亲"(All Pro Dad)长期倡导强化家庭关系,佛罗里达州的同名税收抵免计划即源于这类理念。此外,德克萨斯州代表帕克斯顿将介绍该州试点项目,该试点今年已投入 500 万美元。
佛罗里达州的"强家庭税收抵免"于 2021 年创设,首年授权额度 500 万美元,如今已增至 5310 万美元。研讨会期间还将有第一联合银行首席财务官布莱恩·约翰逊、基督教儿童服务机构"多一个孩子"的执行主任菲利普·惠顿发表看法。米勒表示,研讨会将帮助议员们研究如何支持扎根社区的项目,帮助父母与孩子建立更紧密的关系。
Oklahoma Considers Texas-Style 'Strong Families Tax Credit'; Legislative Study Set for Today
Oklahoma Republicans are considering a Texas-style "Strong Families Tax Credit" program, with a legislative study scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on October 12 at the state Capitol, The Oklahoman reported on October 11.
Organized by state Rep. Nicole Miller, the study features several guest speakers, including former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy. Dungy co-founded the nonprofit All Pro Dad, which has long advocated strengthening family bonds — the philosophy behind Florida's program of the same name. Texas representative Paxton will also describe that state's pilot program, which invested $5 million this year.
Florida's "Strong Families Tax Credit" was created in 2021 with an initial $5 million authorization and has since grown to $53.1 million. First United Bank CFO Brian Johnson and Philip Wheaton, executive director of the Christian children's service One More Child, will also speak. Miller said the study will help lawmakers explore how to support community-rooted programs that strengthen parent-child relationships.
