would grant the tax credit to workers newly certified in those fields – or who are already certified in another state and move to Pennsylvania – for a period of three years after they begin working in the commonwealth.
Although a tight labor market and worker shortages have affected nearly every field, education, healthcare, and law enforcement are the “backbone of a well-functioning society,” said Rep. Brian Munroe, D-Bucks, and thus of particular interest for the state to prop up. Shapiro’s budget proposal had shown this at $24.7 million, with the difference due to HB1249 including “more certification types than the initial estimate included in the budget proposal,” House Appropriations Chair Jordan Harris, D-Philadelphia, said in Tuesday’s committee meeting.
House Minority Leader Bryan Cutler, R-Lancaster, criticized the measure as “unfocused” and lacking incentives for existing nurses, teachers, and police.
