New Jersey Senate Bill S2240

Introduced
1/9/24  

Caption

Provides temporary corporation business tax and gross income tax credits for certain employer-provided child care expenditures.

Impact

The bill aims to significantly impact New Jersey's workforce and economic environment by promoting company involvement in child care services, which can lead to improved employee productivity and retention. By making child care more accessible through employer-sponsored services, the state anticipates a reduction in the financial burden on families while enhancing the overall quality of child care available. Furthermore, businesses are required to enter into a formal agreement with the Division of Taxation to ensure compliance and accountability regarding the use of child care facilities, thus safeguarding taxpayers' interests.

Summary

Senate Bill 2240 introduces tax credits designed to incentivize New Jersey businesses to invest in child care for their employees by providing financial relief through the corporation business tax and gross income tax. This bill allows businesses that create, renovate, or improve facilities used for child care to claim a credit of 50% on expenditures up to $50,000. Additionally, separate credits are available for costs incurred in the operational provision of child care services, which further encourages businesses to participate actively in ensuring their employees have access to quality child care services.

Contention

While the bill is designed to promote child care, potential points of contention may arise around the definition of a 'qualified child care center' and the terms of eligibility for tax credits. Critiques may center on whether specific businesses, particularly those classified as partnerships and S corporations, are adequately accommodated within the framework of the bill. Additionally, the stipulations that require ongoing operational use of facilities and restrictions on employee eligibility could raise concerns about equity and accessibility for smaller businesses or those that do not typically provide such services. Overall, the success of the bill will depend on the enthusiastic and equitable participation of a diverse range of businesses across the state.
