ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday signed a measure into law creating a state tax credit allowing Georgians and corporations to target taxes they would normally pay into the state treasury to support local law enforcement.
Senate Bill 361 was pushed by Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who, while serving in the state House, authored a similar tax credit that has pumped money into struggling rural hospitals.
SB 361 makes $75 million a year available in state income tax credits to Georgians who donate to local law enforcement foundations.
