HB 204 -- Income Tax Credit for Volunteer Firefighters

Sponsor:  Ruestman

Beginning January 1, 2009, this bill authorizes an annual $180
income tax credit for volunteer firefighters who complete during
the year at least 12 hours of any firefighter training program
approved by the Office of the State Fire Marshal within the
Department of Public Safety.  If the firefighter completes at
least 36 additional hours of training after the initial 12 hours
of training during the year, the firefighter may claim a $360
credit.  The tax credit is not refundable but can be carried
forward for four years.

The provisions of the bill will expire December 31 six years from
the effective date.
