Bill > A10157

This bill enacts the "educator expense assistance act" to allow K-12 educators, such as teachers, instructors, counselors, principals, and aides who work at least 900 hours per school year, to deduct up to $300 in unreimbursed expenses for professional development, books, supplies, computer equipment, and other educational materials from their taxes. Married educators filing jointly can deduct up to $600, but not more than $300 each. The bill specifies that for health and physical education courses, the expenses must be for athletic supplies.
