What’s in it
This bill amends the Iowa industrial new jobs training Act and the gap tuition assistance Act to add center-based child day care services to the programs. Currently, under the Iowa industrial new jobs training Act, a business in certain industries that enters into an agreement with a community college qualifies for new jobs tax credits for the training of new employees. The bill amends the definition of “industry” to add center-based child day care services to the list of industries which qualify a business to enter into an agreement with a community college for new employee training under a new jobs training program and entitle such business to new jobs tax credits for new jobs directly resulting from the project covered by the agreement.
Read the full explanation
To pay for such projects, community colleges are authorized to make an advance or loan and to issue and sell negotiable bonds or notes. The gap tuition assistance program provides funding to community colleges for need-based tuition assistance to applicants to enable completion of continuing education certificate training programs for in-demand occupations. To meet the definition of “eligible certificate program”, the program must offer training or a credential in an “in-demand occupation”. The bill amends the definition of “in-demand occupation” to add center-based child day care services.
