Legislation filed Tuesday would create a tax credit for donations to charities that support women with unplanned pregnancies.
H.B. 1404 by Rep. Cameron Cooper (R — Romance) and Sen. John Payton (R — Wilburn) establishes an state income tax credit for donations to pregnancy help organizations — such as pregnancy resource centers and similar charities — in Arkansas. Under this bill, individuals and businesses could receive a 50% income tax credit for contributions to qualified pregnancy help organizations.
The bill would not provide a tax credit for donations to abortionists or their affiliates.
The State of Arkansas currently provides grant money to pro-life charities that provide women with real options besides abortion. H.B. 1404 would provide a tax incentive for individuals and businesses to donate to these pro-life charities as well.
