AI Summary
This bill permanently extends the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which is a federal tax credit that encourages employers to hire individuals from certain target groups who may face barriers to employment, such as veterans, ex-felons, and individuals receiving government assistance. Under current law, the WOTC was set to expire after 2019, but this bill removes the expiration date, making the credit permanently available to employers.
