Evidence

Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Maria Cantwell introduced the Apprenticeship and Jobs Training Act of 2014, which would create a $5,000 tax incentive for employers that use apprenticeship programs and a tax credit for companies that hire and pay employees enrolled in registered apprentice programs.

Collins publicly supported and introduced a bill matching the promise by creating tax credits for employers that hire apprentices.

Collins wrote that she was a coauthor of the Apprenticeship and Jobs Training Act of 2015, which would give employers a $5,000 tax credit based on wages paid by companies who hire individuals enrolled in a federal or state registered apprentice program.

Collins reaffirmed support for a concrete apprenticeship tax-credit bill during her Senate term.

GovInfo records that Ms. Cantwell, for herself, Ms. Collins, and Ms. Klobuchar, introduced S. 1352, titled 'To establish a tax credit for on-site apprenticeship programs,' and the bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.

Collins again advanced the same policy in later federal service, but the bill was only introduced and referred, not enacted.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support legislation creating tax credits for businesses that hire apprentices, not necessarily to secure enactment. During the 2015-2021 Senate term tied to the 2014 campaign, Collins coauthored and publicly backed the Apprenticeship and Jobs Training Act of 2015, which directly matched the promised policy by proposing an employer tax credit for hiring registered apprentices. Later reintroduction in 2017 reinforces continued support, but same-term sponsorship is enough to count the support promise as fulfilled even though the bill did not become law.

The promise was to support legislation creating tax credits for businesses that hire apprentices, not necessarily to secure enactment. During the 2015-2021 Senate term tied to the 2014 campaign, Collins publicly coauthored and supported the Apprenticeship and Jobs Training Act of 2015, which would have provided employer tax credits for hiring registered apprentices. She also continued advancing similar legislation later in the term. Because the promised action was support for legislation and she materially did that in the same federal term, this counts as delivered even though the bill did not become law.
