  1 22 for extracurricular activities including sporting events,
  1 23 musical or dramatic events, speech activities, driver's

  1 25 any other provision, all other credits allowed under sections

  1 27 under this subsection.  The credit in this subsection does not

  1 33 thousand dollars or more.
