In plain language

The bill provides a tax credit for nurses working in rural health facilities.

This bill allows licensed nurses employed at rural health facilities to receive a $2,000 tax credit per year from 2027 to 2031. The credit aims to support nursing professionals in underserved areas and is contingent on employment conditions.

What this means for you
  • Workers: This means that eligible nurses can reduce their tax burden significantly while working in rural areas.

Summary

The Personal Income Tax Law allows various credits against the taxes imposed by that law. This bill would allow a credit against those taxes to a licensed nurse employed at a rural health facility, as specified, for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and before January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to $2,000 per taxpayer per taxable year. The bill would require the Department of Health Care Access and Information to provide an annual list to the Franchise Tax Board of rural health facilities, as specified. Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure, as defined, to include tax credits, to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax credit will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements. This bill would include findings and reporting requirements in compliance with this requirement. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
