Bill > S1796

This bill aims to expand the availability of primary care services in underserved areas. It establishes a Primary Care Provider Tax Credit Program and a Primary Care Provider Health Insurance Subsidy Program to help recruit and retain primary care providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, licensed behavioral health providers, and dentists, in designated underserved areas of the state. The tax credit program allows eligible providers to claim a credit against their state income tax liability, with the amount of the credit varying based on the provider's type and the severity of the medical needs in the underserved area. The health insurance subsidy program provides eligible providers with a monthly subsidy to offset the cost of purchasing health insurance coverage.
