Our take

What we think, in plain words.

This bill wants to help small, new businesses grow by giving them tax credits when they train their workers. This could mean more chances for people to learn new skills and get better jobs. Some people might worry that giving tax breaks means the state has less money for other important things, but supporters believe it helps the economy by making workers more skilled.

The facts

What the bill actually says, no spin.

It would give tax credits to certain businesses for training their employees.
The credit is 10 percent of what a business spends on training, up to $2,000 for each worker.
Only small businesses that make less than $2.5 million a year and have been open for less than 10 years can get the credit.
The training must help workers get better skills and lead to a special certificate.
Businesses could claim this tax credit for up to five years.
