   to accumulate funds for postsecondary education, to purchase  a  first      
   home,  or  to finance business capitalization expenses.  Provides that      
   the funds  in  the  account  shall  be  matched  by  a  not-for-profit

   Accounts and make grants to not-for-profit organizations to administer      
   the accounts.   Provides  that  funds  in  an  Individual  Development

   funds.  Designates allowable uses for State and  federal  funds  under      
   the  program.  Provides that to be eligible for State matching funds a      
   program must secure at least a dollar  for  dollar  match  from  other      
   sources for contributions made by participating individuals.  Provides      
   that  nothing  in  these  provisions  shall  prohibit a not-for-profit

   administering  an  approved Individual Development Account.  Effective      
   immediately.
