HB 2163 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing for the preceptor income tax incentive act, establishing an income tax credit for nursing home administrators, registered nurses and registered dietitians that serve as a community-based faculty preceptor in adult care homes and medical care facilities by providing personalized instruction, training and supervision for students.

HB 2163 creates a Kansas income tax credit for licensed nursing home administrators, registered nurses, and registered dietitians who provide unpaid, one-on-one training and supervision to healthcare students in adult care homes or medical facilities. The credit equals $250 for every 40 hours of mentoring completed, with no annual limit on the credit amount. To claim the credit, preceptors must verify hours through their educational institution and confirm they received no compensation for the same training from their employer. This policy directly affects licensed healthcare professionals in Kansas who mentor students seeking careers in nursing, dietary management, or nursing home administration.
