Summary

Currently, the rural jump-start zone grant program (grant program)
terminates on July 1, 2024, and all grant money in the rural jump-start
zone grant fund account (account) reverts to the general fund on June 30,
2024. The bill continues the grant program until July 1, 2026, and the
grant money in the account reverts to the general fund on June 30, 2026.
The bill changes the total allowable administrative cost of the grant

all fiscal years that the grant program is in effect.
The new business income tax credit and the new hire income tax
credit, which are benefits under the grant program, currently expire on

employed by all new businesses that are in one of the 14 industries that
the commission targets for economic development in the state is increased
from 300 to 500.
