    Georgia House of Representatives SESSION REPORT House Budget & Research Office Martha R. Wigton, Director (404) 656-5050 Christine Murdock, Deputy Director 2021 Session Report HB 32 Income tax; credit for teacher recruitment and retention program; provide By: Rep. D. C. Belton (112th) Through the Ways & Means Committee Final Bill Summary: House Bill 32 amends O.C.G.A. 20-2-251 to create a refundable income tax credit for a teacher recruitment and retention program managed by the State Board of Education. Eligible teachers include those with a bachelor's degree in education from a postsecondary institution in Georgia that has a teacher certification program certified by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Additionally, a teacher must accept their first school-year contract in the 2021-2022 school year in a high-need subject area in a rural school or a school that performed in the lowest five percent of schools in this state and must hold a valid five- year induction or professional certificate from the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Regional Education Service Agencies determine which three content areas are considered a high-need subject area. Eligible teachers must submit an application to the Department of Education to participate. The department will identify no more than 100 rural and low-performing schools, and the recruitment and retention program is limited to 1,000 participating teachers. Participating teachers are eligible for a non- refundable tax credit of $3,000 per each school year for no more than five years. The tax credit earned may be carried forward for up to three years.

  • 2015 Will Budget Letter to Congress
    March 2015 Dear Member of Congress: As you consider budgeting and appropriations decisions this year, we remind you that these decisions will profoundly impact our states and our ability as state legislators to balance budgets, meet the needs of our residents, and invest for the future. We are writing to urge you to rein in Pentagon spending with a responsible and strategic approach needed for st the 21 century. The safety of our constituents is of utmost importance, and we strongly support our brave men and women in the military and their families. In order to sustainably strengthen our nation’s security for today and for next generations, scrutiny and fiscal discipline must be applied at the Pentagon. In the President’s budget request for Fiscal Year 2016, Pentagon spending, including nuclear weapons and war spending,* would consume 53% of the nation’s discretionary budget surpassing agreed-to budget caps by $38 billion. Indeed, year after year we see Pentagon spending taking over half of the discretionary budget, and this spending has nearly doubled over the last decade. Meanwhile, we have seen cuts to the wide range of other discretionary budget programs and needed investments – including education, infrastructure, health care and much more. Cuts to these discretionary programs sharply impact our states which receive roughly one third of this funding. As state legislators we have had to make hard decisions to cut back on needed investments and services. Further cuts will add strain to state budgets and thwart economic growth. Within the supersized Pentagon spending budget, many dollars are expended on programs that are unnecessary, unwanted or unworkable and beset with cost overruns.
