WOTC law status update

December 20, 2013

Yesterday Senator Reid introduced S.1859, a bill to extend most expiring tax provisions through 2014.

WOTC is extended, “as is” in S. 1859 through December 31^st 2014.

Today, before Congress adjourned until January 3^rd, Senator Reid announced the first business day for the Senate next year will be January 6^th, and that at 5:30 PM on January 6^th a cloture vote to limit debate and move to final passage of the measure will be taken.  Sixty votes will be required to invoke cloture and move to final passage.  This will be the decisive vote on the bill.

Enormous thanks to all who labored to turn matters around in the Senate and bring us this far in the campaign. We should renew our contacts with all senators on January 3^rd and urge them to vote for cloture on S. 1859 when the Senate votes on January 6^th.

President, WOTC Coalition
