Bill > S1519

This bill aims to encourage lawyers to practice public interest law by providing a tax credit for graduates of accredited Massachusetts law schools who are practicing public interest law, as defined by a newly established Public Service Commission. The credit would be equal to the amount of money the graduate paid towards their law school loan in the preceding tax year, up to the total amount of the loan. The Public Service Commission would be responsible for evaluating and categorizing public legal services, determining which services qualify for the tax credit, and conducting a study to encourage participation in public law services and recommend tuition reimbursement programs to reduce law school loans.
