Bill would allow for Native American hiring incentives for Montana employers

Montana employers could get tax credits for hiring Native Americans if House Bill 655 makes it through the Legislature.

Rep. George Kipp III, D-Heart Butte, said this is a Montana solution to decreasing the state’s unemployment rate.

"Employment preferences for Native Americans is something that Montana should look at, grasp, start nurturing," Kipp said. "Addressing the high economic deficiencies on reservations, and giving them a hand up as far as employment goes."
