Abstract
(HB6156 · 103rd Legislature) Individual income tax: credit; credit for certain advanced practice registered nurses who serve as a preceptor; provide for. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding sec. 282. Latest action (2026-07-14): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/03/2026
Why this matters
Clinical preceptor shortages are a recognized bottleneck in expanding Michigan’s advanced practice nursing workforce, which in turn affects primary care and safety-net access. A targeted income tax credit is a low-cost policy lever aimed at incentivizing experienced APRNs to train the next generation, with potential downstream effects on Medicaid provider capacity and rural/underserved coverage.
