Corporate welfare tax; imposes on large employers a tax equal to 100% of qualified employee benefit.

Summary

The bill creates a "corporate welfare tax" that charges any employer with an average of 500 or more employees 100 % of the qualified federal benefits (e.g., SNAP, school meals, housing assistance, Medicaid) received by its workers who live in Virginia. It also requires quarterly employee rosters, data sharing with the Department of Social Services, and bans employers from asking job applicants about their receipt of such benefits. The measure amends existing nondiscrimination law to define terms and protect applicants from benefit‑related inquiries.
