S 4277 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides tax credits to certain employers of employees less than 18 years old.

This New Jersey bill creates a tax credit program for businesses that hire workers under the age of 18. The measure is designed to help employers offset increased costs associated with recent minimum wage laws by reimbursing them for the difference between current required wages and what was previously paid. Eligible companies can apply for these credits against their state business or income taxes for tax years before January 1, 2032, and 2034. The amount of the credit is calculated based on the specific wage increases mandated by law compared to prior payments for those young employees.
