TAX/TAXATION: Creates the Anchor Home Task Force to study the feasibility of offering tax credits to incentivize the hiring of resident Louisiana college graduates to live and work in Louisiana the first five years after graduation. (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX See Note)

This bill establishes the Anchor Home Task Force to study whether Louisiana should offer tax credits to encourage college graduates to stay in the state for their first five years after graduation. The task force will examine the financial structure, eligibility criteria, and potential impact of such an incentive program on workforce needs and state revenue. Composed of legislators and representatives from key state agencies, the group must submit its findings by April 1, 2027, without creating any new tax credits at this time. The bill focuses on research and recommendation rather than immediate policy changes, aiming to address Louisiana's population loss and "brain drain" of educated residents.
