Bill overview

The RETAIN Act aims to address a shortage of experienced educators by providing a refundable tax credit to early childhood educators, teachers, school leaders, and school-based mental health providers. This credit is based on the number of continuous years an individual has been employed in eligible positions, particularly those serving high-need students. The bill seeks to incentivize retention in the education workforce, especially in underserved areas, by offering financial support to those dedicated to long-term service.
