Service members and small businesses would benefit from a proposal recently introduced in the House. House Bill 1499, which I co-sponsored, would offer small businesses – those with 25 or fewer employees – tax credits for employing reservists or National Guardsmen who are called to active duty. The credits would help pay the cost of training people to replace the deployed service members and also the cost of reintegrating returning soldiers into the company’s work force.
