What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a refundable individual income tax credit for costs incurred and paid by an individual in the year to which the claim relates for instructional costs and required materials and fees for an instructional program that results in the individual becoming a certified nursing assistant. Under the bill, the maximum credit that a claimant may claim is $1,500, and an individual may claim the credit only once. The bill prohibits an individual from claiming the credit unless he or she has worked as a CNA for at least 12 consecutive months on a full-time basis. Because the credit is refundable, if the amount of the claim for which a claimant is eligible exceeds the claimant's tax liability, the difference will be paid to the claimant by check.
