Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would make certain federally funded student loan repayments for dental school faculty tax-free. In plain terms, if a qualifying federal program helps pay back a dental teacher’s loans, that repayment would not count as income on their taxes. This change would apply to money received in tax years that start after the law takes effect.
The bill also orders a federal review to see how well a key dental faculty loan repayment program is working. The review will look at participation and whether people who get this help stay on as full-time faculty in dental clinics at schools, hospitals, or community-based sites.
