House Bill 82 offers a $5,000 tax credit to dentists who choose to practice in a rural county of Georgia, which is defined as an area with 65 or fewer people per square mile.
The tax break would be available to dentists for five years before automatically expiring. It would not apply to dentists already practicing in rural areas.
The bill passed through the House of Representatives with only one vote against it last year but ran out of time to cross over.
Rep. Mack Jackson is the sponsor of the bill, the report said.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
