Overview: HB 4431, Individual income tax: credit; qualified volunteers credit; create, referred to second reading, introduced on March 11, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to create a new individual income tax credit for qualified volunteers, such as firefighters and law enforcement personnel, in order to incentivize and recognize their valuable public service.
Key Provisions:
- Establishes a refundable tax credit of up to $1,000 for qualified volunteers who perform at least 100 hours of volunteer service per year
- Defines "qualified volunteer" as a firefighter, emergency medical technician, or law enforcement officer who is not compensated for their service
- Requires the volunteer service to be performed for a local government, fire department, or law enforcement agency
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would directly benefit qualified volunteers by providing them with a tax credit to offset their individual income taxes. It could help with recruitment and retention of these critical public safety roles.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the second reading in the legislative process. If passed, the new tax credit would take effect for the 2026 tax year.
