HB 2477 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

Arizona's education savings plan; revisions

HB 2477 updates definitions for Arizona's AZ529 education savings plan to align with federal tax rules. It clarifies that qualified expenses now include computer equipment, software, and apprenticeship program costs (registered under federal law) for beneficiaries. The bill also expands the definition of "member of the family" to include more relatives and specifies limits on education loan repayment withdrawals. This is a procedural revision to the plan's rules, not a new benefit or eligibility change.
