AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Georgia's state income tax laws to provide a Georgia Veterans Work Opportunity Tax Credit as an incentive for private sector employers to hire veterans who face employment barriers. The credit would be a one-time, per-employee tax credit, with the amount determined by the veteran's employment status and hours worked. The bill defines key terms like "qualified veteran," "unemployed veteran," and "qualified wages," and outlines the requirements for employers to receive the credit, including receiving certification from the Georgia Department of Labor that the hired individual is a member of a targeted group.
