Can a tax credit reduce child poverty?

February 4, 2022: Rep. Emilie Kornheiser discusses efforts to expand the state's Child Tax Credit for income-eligible families. Proposed bill H.510 would provide a credit to an estimated 51,000 children in the state ages 0 - 6. But, the measure could also cost the state more than $50 million. The legislation is modeled after the federal enhanced Child Tax Credit provided to families last year under ARPA.
