The Veterans Jobs Opportunity Act would create a new startup tax credit to provide veterans who are starting a small business with a 15 percent tax credit on the first $50,000 of startup costs.\n\n\u201cBy offering enhanced support to veteran entrepreneurs, we can bolster local economies and channel their work-ethic into their communities,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cVeteran-owned small businesses play an important role in rural communities, underserved areas and society, and this legislation will allow our nation\u2019s heroes to encourage those around them and uplift communities across the country.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur nation\u2019s servicemembers deserve all of our support as they transition to civilian life,\u201d said Sen. Rosen. \u201cI\u2019m proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to provide Nevada veterans with a tax credit on start-up costs as they start small businesses in underserved communities and create jobs. I\u2019ll always work to ensure our veterans have the federal resources they need.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:32:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=3DE58338-F5EE-4652-9584-19C4ADF6B4CF"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9122530464082956, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
