SPRINGFIELD – A troubled Illinois college savings program is back in business with new management and new rules.

College Illinois lets parents lock in a price for their children's future tuition and save money to pay it. Money put into the savings program is tax deductible and returns on the investment are tax free.

The program stopped taking new applications late last year after news reports revealed questionable investments and money problems. State auditors later found that top officials had conflicts of interest and that administrative costs had skyrocketed.
