Prince George's County - Income Tax - Credit for Employers Providing Parental Engagement Leave PG 409-25

HB 377 creates a refundable income tax credit for employers in Prince George’s County who provide "parental engagement leave" to qualified employees. This leave (10-20 hours per year, paid at regular wage) allows parents or legal guardians of PG County school students to attend school-related meetings or events. Employers claim the credit by attaching a certification form - requiring signatures from school officials (e.g., principal and county board member) - to their tax return, with the credit capped at $800 per employee annually. The bill directly affects PG County employers and their employees with school-aged children enrolled in local public or nonpublic schools.
