AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah law currently offers no tax incentive for people who volunteer as first responders, but this bill creates a new nonrefundable state income tax credit for those who do. Volunteers who log at least 100 documented hours in a year can claim a $250 credit, and those who reach 200 or more hours can claim $500. To qualify, volunteers must obtain a certificate from their first responder agency verifying their hours, and the credit cannot exceed what the volunteer actually owes in state taxes for that year.
