Apprenticeship Infrastructure Tax Credit Act of 2025
# Apprenticeship Infrastructure Tax Credit Act of 2025 (HR 3871) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would create a new tax credit to encourage businesses to hire and train apprentices in infrastructure-related fields. While specific details about the credit amount and eligibility requirements aren't publicly available yet, the bill aims to incentivize companies to invest in workforce development by offering tax breaks as a financial reward for participating in apprenticeship programs. **Who It Affects** The legislation would primarily benefit businesses in infrastructure sectors (such as construction, utilities, and transportation) that invest in apprenticeships. Apprentices seeking training opportunities in these fields could indirectly benefit from increased employer participation. Taxpayers would also be affected, as the tax credit would reduce government revenue. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Jake Ellzey (R-TX) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. Bills typically remain in committee for review and discussion before advancing further in the legislative process.
