Bill overview
This bill, the Fairness for the Trades Act, amends tax law to allow expenses related to vocational training and apprenticeships in specific skilled trades to be treated as qualified higher education expenses for use in 529 college savings accounts. Specifically, it defines ‘qualified business trade expenses’ as costs associated with business property used in designated trade fields, such as plumbing, electrical work, and construction. This change aims to provide greater financial flexibility for individuals pursuing careers in these trades and their families.
