H.212 is a bill introduced by Representative Noyes of Wolcott that aims to create various incentives for AmeriCorps members in Vermont. The bill proposes several key measures, including requiring Vermont State colleges and universities to offer in-state tuition for AmeriCorps members, exempting recipients of the federal Segal AmeriCorps Education Award from state taxes on the funds received, and exempting AmeriCorps members from state taxes on their living allowance. Additionally, the bill seeks to establish a hiring preference for AmeriCorps members in state employment vacancies and to provide a state education award that matches the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award for students who have served in AmeriCorps and are enrolled in Vermont postsecondary institutions.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision to dedicate state funds to the development of AmeriCorps programs. These measures are designed to support and incentivize participation in AmeriCorps, thereby enhancing workforce development and community service in Vermont.
