The purpose of this bill is to authorize a tax credit for new teachers in critical needs areas. It requires the State Board of Education to determine standards defining "critical needs areas" in both subject areas and geographic areas. The tax credit for the first three years of employment in such an area shall equal the teachers' liability for personal income taxes. If the teacher continues to teach in a critical needs area for another five years, the tax credit is equal to fifty percent of the tax liability.
