Introduced
by
To prohibit a local government from granting Plant Rehabilitation and Industrial Development District property tax breaks unless the recipient promises not to hire illegal aliens, to comply in good faith with the legal status verification requirements of federal law, and to make a good faith effort to only hire Michigan residents and use Michigan suppliers and vendors on the project unless that means the project cannot be completed. Violators could have their tax breaks revoked and be required to repay all or part of those already used. Local governments would have to report annually to the Michigan Strategic Fund board on the number of residents employed by beneficiaries of these tax breaks, and the specific reasons for each exemption granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
Referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism
