The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5177, aims to establish a tax credit for manufacturers who donate equipment or supplies to manufacturing training programs at public middle schools and high schools in the state. The bill seeks to amend title 12 of the general statutes to facilitate this tax credit, thereby encouraging manufacturers to support educational initiatives in the manufacturing sector.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to incentivize manufacturers to contribute to the development of future talent in the manufacturing industry by providing them with a financial benefit in the form of a tax credit for their donations. This initiative is intended to enhance the resources available for manufacturing training programs in public schools, ultimately benefiting students and the local economy.
