SB 136-INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR EMPLOYING A VETERAN 9:03:10 AM CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI, speaking as sponsor, announced the consideration of SB 136. The bill would provide a $2,000 credit for each veteran a business hires who works at least 30 hours a week for 12 months. The purpose is to help those veterans who are struggling to find employment after their service to our nation. Young male veterans between the ages of 18-24 face particularly high unemployment rates - almost 22 percent. Previous testimony in support of the bill was from the Anchorage Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Vets Helping Vets in Anchorage, and from the Alaska Veterans Organization for Women. The committee amended the bill last week to clarify that the credit is not limited to Alaskan veterans per se, as that would create legal problems, but to all veterans hired in Alaska. SENATOR PASKVAN moved to report the CS for SB 136, version I, as amended, from committee with individual recommendations and the attached fiscal note. CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI announced that that without objection, CSSB 136(STA) moved from the Senate State Affairs Standing Committee.
