AB253,1,3 1An Act to amend 71.10 (4) (i); and to create 20.835 (2) (cb) and 71.07 (8m) of
2the statutes; relating to: creating an individual income tax credit for certified
3nursing assistant training costs.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates a refundable individual income tax credit for costs incurred
and paid by an individual in the year to which the claim relates for instructional costs
and required materials and fees for an instructional program that results in the
individual becoming a certified nursing assistant. Under the bill, the maximum
credit that a claimant may claim is $1,500, and an individual may claim the credit
only once. The bill prohibits an individual from claiming the credit unless he or she
has worked as a CNA for at least 12 consecutive months on a full-time basis. Because
the credit is refundable, if the amount of the claim for which a claimant is eligible
exceeds the claimant's tax liability, the difference will be paid to the claimant by
check.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
