TO CREATE AN INCOME TAX EXEMPTION FOR TEACHERS.

House Bill 1190 aimed to create an income tax exemption for qualified teachers in Arkansas. The bill defined a "teacher" as an individual primarily engaged in K-12 student instruction at public or open-enrollment charter schools. It proposed to exempt the first $50,000 of a teacher's wages from state income tax. This change would have applied to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
