Bill > SB00110

This bill proposes to amend Connecticut's tax code to create a personal income tax deduction for volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance members who receive stipends for their service. Specifically, the bill allows a tax deduction for any stipend paid to these volunteers by a municipality, volunteer fire department, or volunteer ambulance association, but only if the total stipend does not exceed $15,000 for other duties performed. The purpose of this legislation is to provide a financial incentive and recognition for individuals who voluntarily serve their communities in critical emergency response roles, such as firefighting and emergency medical services, by offering them a modest tax break on the small compensation they receive for their valuable volunteer work.
