Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
