Senate Revenue & Tax panel approves technical fix to 2017 apprenticeship tax credit
Summary
A Senate Revenue & Tax meeting approved a technical correction to a February 2017 act to clarify that an apprenticeship tax credit applies to all apprenticeship programs, not only youth apprenticeship programs. The correction passed by voice vote and the panel adjourned.
At a meeting of the Senate Revenue & Tax panel, members approved a technical correction to an act from February 2017 intended to make an apprenticeship tax credit available to all apprenticeship programs, not only youth apprenticeship programs.
An unidentified committee speaker explained the change as a coding correction to align the statutes with the panel’s prior action. "This tax credit is to be available even according to the 02/2017 act to all apprenticeship programs, not just youth apprenticeship programs," the speaker said, and invited questions before the committee moved to a vote.
The motion to adopt the technical correction was made and seconded and decided by voice vote; the chair called for 'All those in favor, aye,' which was answered in the affirmative, and the chair later indicated the motion was carried. The transcript records an opposed voice response but does not include a roll-call tally.
A procedural note in the meeting record indicated that Chairman Dizemane was "not feeling well," and the committee proceeded without him presiding. After the vote the panel concluded its business and adjourned.
The action described in the meeting record is a technical statutory correction and does not, in the transcript, include details about implementation timelines, fiscal impacts, or a roll-call vote. Those details were not specified in the transcript.
