Establishes "Recovery Tax Credit Program"; incentivizes hiring and continued employment of certain individuals in recovery from substance use disorder.
This New Jersey bill (A 1793) creates a "Recovery Tax Credit Program" that provides tax incentives to employers who hire and retain individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Employers must become "certified" by meeting requirements like partnering with recovery providers and offering qualifying health insurance. Certified employers can claim tax credits up to $2,000 per eligible employee (based on hours worked, minimum 500 hours), with a total annual budget cap of $2 million. The program directly affects employers in New Jersey and individuals in recovery who meet the defined eligibility criteria.
