State Rep. Ben Robbins, R-Sylacauga, has filed a bill that would establish a state income tax credit for recruited workers and remote workers that move to certain counties in Alabama.
Under HB259, remote workers and teachers, nurses, or law enforcement officers who have lived in a county with a population of less than 100,000, or any of Alabama’s opportunity zones, for at least six months of the filing year are eligible to claim up to $30,000 in tax credits, according to its text.
This covers the majority of the state, as less than a quarter of its counties have populations over 100,000, according to the most recent Census.
