State Senate
Passes Its Own
'Stimulus Bills'
The Georgia State Senate
last week approved what its
supporters call a “true stim
ulus package,’’ the “Jobs,
Opportunity, and Business
Success Act of 2009 (JOBS
Act).’’ Sen. Ralph Hudgens
(R-Hull) supported the bill.
“What we are proposing
is harnessing the greatness
of Georgia ... the intellectual
capital, the entrepreneurial
spirit, and the true grit of
Georgians,’’ said Hudgens.
“This bill will get Georgia’s
economy flourishing in a
fast, efficient and stable
manner. Not a quick fix like
the federal stimulus pack
age.”
House bills 481 and 482
comprise the JOBS Act,
with HB 481 providing a
new business filing fee holi
day, a $500 credit towards
the unemployment insur
ance tax for each eligible

employee hired, a $2,400
income tax credit for each
eligible employee hired,
and the elimination of the
sales tax deposit. HB 482
would eliminate the state
inventory tax on all Georgia
businesses.
The original House ver
sion of HB 481 included the
gradual elimination of the
corporate income tax, but
was removed as the legis
lation passed through the
House. The Senate com
mittee substitute that was
passed earlier this week
placed that measure back
into the legislation. Hudgens
also praised the Act as “the
most pro-business legisla
tion the General Assembly
has ever considered” and
believes its focus on protect
ing small business will be
the key to bringing Georgia
through the current reces
sion.
