Speaker 4 argued that requiring individual students to take tests and reporting their scores would violate individual rights and said a $50,000 fiscal note is a token that won’t solve underfunding; Speaker 1 replied that testing could be reported in aggregate, that the $50,000 is an administrative cost (not the tuition tax credit itself), and that the credit would increase spending per student rather than change appropriations.
