Bill > SB107

This bill provides a tax credit for emergency medical personnel and ambulance service staff in Oklahoma, starting with the 2025 tax year. The credit amounts vary based on the individual's certification level: $100 for certified emergency medical responders and operational staff, $200 for emergency medical technicians (EMTs), $400 for intermediate and advanced EMTs, and $600 for paramedics. To be eligible, taxpayers must maintain their required licensing and certification throughout the tax year and provide documentation from their ambulance service administrator confirming they were an employee in good standing. Importantly, a taxpayer cannot claim credits in multiple certification categories within the same tax year. The bill also requires the State Commissioner of Health to develop an online form for ambulance service administrators to verify employee eligibility for the tax credit, which will be electronically shared with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. This legislation aims to support and incentivize emergency medical service professionals by providing a financial benefit that recognizes their critical work in providing emergency medical care.
