Bill overview
This bill, the Supporting America’s First Responders Act of 2019, allows first responders – including law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs who work at least 1,000 hours – to deduct up to $500 in expenses from their income. These expenses can include tuition or fees for professional development courses or the cost of uniforms used in their service. The bill aims to provide financial support to these essential workers by offering a tax break for qualified expenses.
