Provides corporation business and gross income tax credit for employment of persons who have experienced job loss due to automation.

This New Jersey bill (S 476) creates a tax credit for businesses with headquarters in the state that hire workers who lost jobs due to automation. It provides a credit equal to 10% of the salary paid to each qualifying employee (capped at $2,500 per employee per year), provided the business employs them for at least seven months. To qualify, the employee must have previously been laid off because their job was replaced by automation - defined as systems that perform tasks without continuous human input. The credit applies to both corporation business tax and gross income tax, directly benefiting affected workers and incentivizing NJ-based employers to hire them.
