Saying Pennsylvania is in the midst of a workforce crisis, Gov. Josh Shapiro said he will propose a three-year incentive of up to $2,500 a year for newly certified teachers, police officers and nurses when the Democrat unveils his budget plan on Tuesday.
Those eligible could receive the tax credit each year for the first three years after they get the certification from the state.
The amount of the tax credit would be on a sliding scale, depending on how much someone earned, administration officials said. Police departments have seen applications drop dramatically over the past few years, Shapiro has said. The commission that oversees the training and certification of municipal police officers found more than 1,200 officer vacancies in a survey of just one-third of the state’s accredited law enforcement agencies last year.On the campaign trail, Shapiro had promised to help police departments recruit 2,000 more police officers.
