Establishes a program for providing paid leave for parents working in a child's school and authorizes a tax credit for fifty percent of the hourly wage paid to a participant in the program

HB 1436 establishes Missouri's "Four For More Program," allowing parents of K-12 students to take up to four hours of paid leave per month to work directly at their child's school. Employers who provide this leave receive a tax credit covering 50% of the wages paid during those hours, capped at $50,000 per employer annually and $10 million statewide. The program applies only to parents employed by school districts or entities operating school-based programs, with the tax credit available for tax years starting in 2026. It automatically expires after six years unless renewed by the legislature.
