Bill > HB818

This bill allows employers in Prince George's County, Maryland to claim a tax credit for providing parental engagement leave to their qualified employees. The parental engagement leave must be used by the employee to attend school-related meetings or events for the student they are a parent or legal guardian of. The credit amount is based on the employee's hourly wage rate and the number of leave hours used, up to 20 hours per employee and a maximum of $800 per employee. Employers must obtain a certification form from the employee and attach it to their state income tax return to claim the credit. The bill also requires the State Department of Education, in consultation with the Comptroller, to develop and make available the certification form.
