Immigration (Agriculture)

S 23 expands an existing tax credit for farmers to include the cost of constructing housing for farm workers. This change directly affects farmers who build residential housing for their employees, allowing them to claim the credit for construction materials and labor. The bill amends tax law to explicitly add "construction of residential housing occupied by farm workers" to the list of eligible expenses under the credit, which previously covered farm-related equipment and property. Farmers must still meet other requirements, such as property situs in the state and use in farming operations.
