School Finance. Did Michigan find a loophole to vouchers?

What is happening? The Michigan Legislature passed legislation to by creating tax credits  and deductions for businesses and individuals who donate to a scholarship fund, which would be used to give grants to students to use the money for approved educational expenses. SB 687 (2021 | MI)

Why is this important? Opponents say this is just a new way to package vouchers. Supporters say that vouchers concern tax revenue and this bill concerns private donations.

How will this be important? In Michigan the importance is that a Republican Legislature passed it but it faces a veto by a Democrat Governor. Elsewhere- copy, file the bill, repeat.
