(1)

(a) The general assembly finds, determines, and declares that:

(I) It is vital to the well-being, quality of life, and economic development of the entire state that excellent health care be available in all regions of the state, including rural and frontier areas;

(II) Rural areas of the state currently suffer from a shortage of primary health care providers and, as a result, these communities experience reduced access to such providers and poorer health care outcomes; and

(III) A consistent problem is a lack of professional instruction, training, and supervision in rural and frontier areas that allows students studying primary care to obtain the requisite professional mentoring and supervision to allow them to practice in such areas upon obtaining a professional degree.

(b) The general assembly intends that the tax credit created in this section is to be used to provide sufficient financial incentives to encourage preceptors to offer professional instruction, training, and supervision to students seeking careers as primary health care providers in rural and frontier areas of the state.

(c) The general assembly further intends that the tax credit provide sufficient financial incentives to encourage preceptors to offer professional instruction, training, and supervision to students matriculating at Colorado institutions of higher education seeking careers as primary health care providers in rural and frontier areas of the state.
