Blocks federal funds and tax credits for companies during employee lockouts.

This bill would stop companies from getting federal money and tax breaks if they lock out their employees. It aims to change how employers handle labor disputes by removing financial support during these times. Employers would also have to pay back certain funds received during a lockout.

What Would Change

Today, employers can still get federal money and tax breaks even if they lock out their workers. If this bill passes, employers would lose access to federal funds starting January 1, 2026. They would also lose federal tax credits for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, during and after a lockout. They might also have to pay back some funds received during a lockout.

Key Provisions

Blocks federal funds for employers during a lockout and for an additional period afterward.
Requires employers to pay back federal funds received during a lockout between January 1, 2026, and when the bill becomes law.
Denies federal tax credits to corporations during any taxable year they are engaged in a lockout.
Gives the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, the power to create new rules for denying tax credits.
