What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Nurse Corps Tax Parity Act of 2025," aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It specifically seeks to exclude certain Nurse Corps payments from being counted as gross income. The legislation updates how specific scholarships and payments under section 846 of the Public Health Service Act are treated for tax purposes. These changes would apply to amounts received in taxable years starting after the bill is enacted.
