Establishing tax credit for certain physicians who locate to practice in WV

Summary

The bill gives eligible physicians a credit against their state income tax equal to their personal taxable income, but only for up to three years. To qualify, a doctor must graduate from an accredited U.S. medical school, finish residency within the past year, become licensed in West Virginia, and work in an underserved area for at least six years, or else repay the credit. The measure aims to address West Virginia’s physician shortage.
