What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, an employer may claim tax credits based on the wages paid

to new employees and on the costs incurred by the employer for certain training

activities. Under current law, if the amount of the credits exceeds the employer's tax

liability, the state issues a refund. The credits apply to taxable years beginning on

or after January 1, 2010, but if any employer is owed a refund, the employer will not

receive it until after December 31, 2011. Under this bill, an employer may claim the

credits for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, and refunds will be

paid beginning on July 1, 2011.
