Bill > HB1

This bill modifies provisions relating to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Initiative in Missouri. It establishes the Missouri STEM Initiative within the Department of Higher Education, with the purpose of increasing interest and the number of graduates in STEM fields at Missouri's public two- and four-year institutions. The bill allows the general assembly to appropriate funds to support scholarship programs, experiential youth programs, and other initiatives recommended by the Department of Higher Education. Additionally, the bill creates a tax credit for taxpayers who provide educational benefits to students in STEM fields or hire STEM graduates for full-time positions in Missouri, with an annual limit of $200,000 in tax credits.
