HB1634 amends the Illinois Income Tax Act to establish a tax credit for first responders who serve for at least 10 months in a taxable year and incur unreimbursed wellness expenses. The credit equals 50% of the expenses, up to $250 per taxpayer per year, with an annual cap of $2.5 million. Eligible expenses include fitness center memberships, wellness classes, and martial arts fees. The credit can be carried forward if it exceeds the tax liability.
