Introduced Text

Massachusetts S1960 establishes tax credits for health care practitioners who serve as preceptors in approved preceptorship programs.

Massachusetts S1960 introduces tax credits for health care practitioners who serve without compensation in approved preceptorship programs. To qualify, practitioners must work a minimum of three rotations, each consisting of at least 100 hours, in areas identified as having a health care workforce shortage. The tax credit, up to $5,000, is claimed against state income tax. The Department of Public Health will issue tax credit certificates and conduct an annual report analyzing the number of certificates issued and the number of eligible students participating in these programs.
