## Summary

**Credit for Nurse Preceptors** would create a $2,000 nonrefundable tax credit for individual nurses who mentor students or newly hired nurses for at least 200 hours in federally designated health professional shortage areas. The credit would apply for taxable years starting in 2026 through 2032 and requires certification of hours from the school or clinical site. - Nurses: Eligible registered nurses or other qualified health providers would receive a $2,000 credit per taxable year after documenting at least 200 hours of supervised preceptorship in a shortage area. - Students and new hires: Nursing students and newly hired nurses could get more hands-on training and supervision, since the credit rewards clinicians who provide supervised experiential learning and mentoring. - Policymakers and administrators: The Treasury must report annually from 2026 through 2032 on who claims the credit and related data, and perform an effectiveness evaluation by June 30, 2033.
