What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a business may claim up to $8,000 in tax credits for each

member of a targeted group that the business employs in a full-time job if the job is

located in a development zone. Under current law, a member of a targeted group

includes an economically disadvantaged veteran. Under this bill, a member of a

targeted group also includes a person who has served under honorable conditions in

the U.S. armed forces or in forces incorporated as part of the U.S. armed forces for

at least one year or, if the active duty service was less than one year, who was

honorably discharged for a service-connected disability, for a disability subsequently

adjudicated to be a service-connected disability, for reasons of hardship, or due to a

reduction in the U.S. armed forces.
