Ryan introduces act

WASHINGTON

U.S. Reps. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, and Steven Palazzo, a Mississippi Republican, introduced the Reserve Component Employer Incentive, Compensation, and Relief Act of 2019.

By providing employers with a tax credit aimed to offset costs accrued and hardships undertaken when employees that are members of the National Guard and Reserves are activated, this legislation incentivizes employers to hire and retain guard members and reservists.

“This legislation will provide these patriotic employers with well-warranted compensation for hiring service members who sacrifice so much for our nation,” Ryan said.
