Bill > HB1436

This bill establishes the "Missouri Four For More Program," which allows parents of children in kindergarten through 12th grade to receive up to four hours of paid leave per month to work with their child in school. The program provides a tax credit to qualifying employers who participate, with the credit covering 50% of the hourly wage paid to employees during these school visits. Eligible taxpayers, including businesses and individuals paying state income tax, can claim a tax credit of up to $50,000 per year, with a total statewide cap of $10 million annually. To qualify, employers must have at least five employees, and participating parents will receive a written statement from the school district documenting their time spent in the school. The program is optional for parents and will automatically sunset after six years unless reauthorized by the state legislature. The bill aims to support parental involvement in education by providing a financial incentive for employers to allow and compensate parents for time spent at their children's schools.
