Ohio HB529 amends the state's tax code to authorize refundable tax credits for employers who hire qualifying employees, including veterans, service members, and their spouses. The bill specifies that a qualifying employee is defined as a veteran, disabled veteran, member of the national guard or reserve components of the armed forces, or the spouse of any such person. Employers can claim a credit of up to $500 for the initial year if the qualifying employee is employed full-time, or $250 if employed part-time.
