Purpose and Intent: The primary goal of this bill is to provide a tax credit to agricultural employers who pay overtime wages to their workers. The legislation aims to incentivize fair compensation and improved working conditions for individuals employed in the agricultural sector.
Key Provisions:

- Defines the criteria for eligible agricultural workers and overtime pay
