Bush proposes family leave tax credits for small firms
President Bush urged Congress to replace a mandatory family leave bill with a tax credit plan for small and medium firms. He said the cost is unclear, while aides cited a $500 million price tag offset by reducing lab fees and admin costs. The draft would offer up to 20 per day for 60 days per employee within a 12 month period, limited to firms with under 500 workers. Bush framed the Democrats’ bill as political and vowed a family oriented tax credit alternative. The House approved a separate unpaid leave measure for emergencies, opposed by Bush.
