A wide-ranging jobs bill that attempts to improve Connecticut's business climate and encourage educated young people to remain in the state and buy homes has unanimously passed the House of Representatives.
The legislation stems from recommendations made by the Majority Leader's Job Growth Roundtable, which has been looking at ways to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, put people to work in green jobs and retain young workers. It builds on a law passed last year that created loans for small business and an investment tax credit program that allows "angel investors" to help fund new, emerging companies.
Rep. Jeffrey Berger, D-Waterbury, co-chairman of the Commerce Committee, said the legislation will help to attract more high-tech jobs and make Connecticut competitive again.
