Authorizes a tax credit for compensation of local businesses who provide qualified employees to serve as instructors at certain Missouri institutions
HB 611 creates a state tax credit for Missouri businesses that pay employees to teach career and technical courses at qualifying institutions during regular business hours. It directly affects businesses (including corporations and partnerships) that hire full-time "qualified career and technical instructors" for community colleges, vocational schools, or facilities serving youth in custody or court-ordered programs. The credit allows businesses to claim up to $5,000 per instructor per year (capped at five instructors annually), with a total annual limit of $500,000 across all businesses. The tax credit is nonrefundable, nontransferable, and expires after 2025.
