ATLANTA -- The Georgia House passed a bill Thursday that would allow an individual or corporation to get a state tax credit for donating money to a rural health care organization.
The sponsor, Rep. Geoff Duncan, a Cumming Republican, said Georgia is “in the midst of a crisis in rural health care.” HB 919, he added, “allows us to do something in Georgia that’s special.’’
Duncan agreed to reduce the bill’s original $250 million in state tax credits that would be available per year to $100 million.
