An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, providing for Firefighter and Emergency Medical Service Provider Recruitment and Retention Tax Credit.

HB 1672 creates a $2,500 annual tax credit against individual income tax for active paid or volunteer firefighters and emergency medical service (EMS) providers in Pennsylvania. It directly affects qualifying professionals working in fire or EMS roles as defined by state law, including career responders and volunteers. The credit reduces tax owed on wages earned, applies for up to three years (the year they become qualified plus the next two), and requires proof of eligibility to the Department of Revenue. The credit expires for new applicants after 2028 and ends entirely by December 31, 2031.
