The Health Preceptors Bill
Hawaii expands tax credit to more health preceptors
Relating To Healthcare Preceptors.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let more health workers like psychologists and counselors claim a state tax credit for teaching students.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Expanding the credit could attract more mentors, easing student shortages and eventually giving Hawaiians better access to care, but it also reduces state tax revenue.
