Gov. Josh Shapiro wants lawmakers to pass a three-year incentive of up to $2,500 a year for newly certified teachers, police officers and nurses in Pennsylvania.
said he will propose a three-year incentive of up to $2,500 a year for newly certified teachers, police officers and nurses when the Democrat unveils his budget plan on Tuesday.
Much of Shapiro's forthcoming budget proposal remains under wraps, and any new tax credit will require approval from the politically divided Legislature. People who newly move to Pennsylvania with a state-recognized credential in one of those three fields also would be eligible for it, administration officials said.
Police departments have seen applications drop dramatically over the past few years, Shapiro has said. The commission that oversees the training and certification of municipal police officers found more than 1,200 officer vacancies in a survey of just one-third of the state's accredited law enforcement agencies last year.
