AN ACT CONCERNING THE APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING TAX CREDIT.

HB 5060 increases the maximum business tax credit for wages paid to apprentices in the construction trades from $4,000 to $7,500 per apprentice. This directly affects construction companies that hire apprentices, providing them with greater financial incentive to train new workers. The key provision raises the per-apprentice credit limit in the existing tax credit program. The change simplifies the policy by increasing the cap without altering eligibility rules or creating new requirements.
