Important Legislative Update: HB 301 

HB 301:  Please share with your legislators the importance of this bill to primary care education programs in Georgia. 

The bill does four things:
  1. Converts the current deductions to tax credits
  2. Adds APRN and PA preceptors as recipients (meeting the same eligibility requirements as physicians) 
  3. Has an effective date retroactive to January 1, 2017 so that all tax letters for 2017 will be for credits 
  4. Implements an incentive structure to provide higher amounts of credits for rotations 4-10.
