SB1070

Expands Hawaii's healthcare preceptor tax credit to include more professions and residency programs.

The bill seeks to address Hawaii's shortage of healthcare providers by expanding the eligibility of the healthcare preceptor tax credit. It removes the primary care specialty requirement for preceptors and the requirement that the credit only applies to precepting students in primary care programs. The bill adds physician assistants, social workers, and licensed dieticians to the list of preceptors and eligible students. It also expands eligibility for the tax credit to include accredited residency programs that require preceptor support.
