which implements 2% tax credit given to employers who make an effort to
further train their employees. Senator Frerichs also co-sponsored
Senate Bill 2859 which expands a tax credit given to businesses hiring
veterans.

of their employees and hire qualified veterans," said Senator Frerichs.
"This legislation will reward those businesses and encourage others to
take up similar practices."
