Bill Summary
Altering eligibility for a credit against the State income tax for physician preceptors by repealing a requirement that a student in a physician preceptorship program be enrolled in a medical school or medical training program in the State and reducing the required number of hours for a preceptor rotation for community-based clinical training; and applying the Act to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for a state income tax credit available to licensed physicians who serve as preceptors, which are doctors who supervise and train medical students. Specifically, it removes the stipulation that students must be enrolled in a medical school or training program located within the state, and it reduces the minimum required hours for community-based clinical training rotations from 100 to 90 hours. These changes are intended to encourage more physicians to participate in preceptorship programs in areas facing healthcare workforce shortages, and the bill applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
