Bill > S1098

This bill creates a sales tax refund program for eligible job training organizations in Florida. Eligible organizations are defined as non-profit, tax-exempt entities that provide job training and employment services to low-income individuals, those with workplace disadvantages, and those with employment barriers. The bill allows these organizations to receive a 10% refund on sales taxes remitted to the Department of Revenue, which they must use for increasing employment hours, providing job training and services, or supporting veterans. The total amount of refunds is capped at $2 million per year, and they are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Department of Economic Opportunity is responsible for verifying eligibility and issuing certifications for the refunds.
