AN ACT CONCERNING THE APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING TAX CREDIT.

HB 6310 raises the maximum annual tax credit for employers hiring apprentices in the construction trades from $4,000 to $7,500 per apprentice. This change directly affects construction companies and contractors that hire apprentices, providing them with greater financial incentive to train new workers. The bill amends existing law to increase the per-apprentice credit limit without altering eligibility requirements or adding new program rules. The key provision is simply the higher dollar amount available for each qualifying apprentice’s wages.
