New Montana law allows tax-deductible donations to disabled

A new state law will allow Montanans to make tax-deductible donations of up to $3,000 a year to a new savings account set up by or for a disabled person.

Gov. Steve Bullock had a ceremonial bill signing Thursday for Senate Bill 399, known as the Montana Achieving a Better Life Experience, or ABLE. He had officially signed it into law Tuesday.

Its sponsor, Sen. Fred Thomas, R-Stevensville, thanked Bullock for signing the bill into law and thanked the people, many with disabled children, who helped work on its passage. He thanked Sen. Mary Caferro, D-Helena, for her help.
