Article: House to Ponder Amendments Tacked on to Quality Jobs Act

Journal Record Staff Reporter

The Saving Quality Jobs Act, House Bill 2093, has passed the Oklahoma Senate 43-0 and gone back to the House of Representatives for approval of amendments.

Approved last week, House Bill 2093 would establish new economic development incentives to enhance last year's Quality Jobs Program Act. Under legislation enacted last year, qualified employers with at least $2.5 million in new payroll can get a withholding tax rebate based on new jobs created.

The Saving Quality Jobs Act would set up a premium payment, in addition to what was received under the Quality Jobs Act, for companies at risk of losing existing jobs because of restructuring or consolidation.
