Introduced
by
To prohibit a local government from granting Obsolete Property Rehabilitation property tax breaks unless the recipient promises in writing not to knowingly hire illegal aliens, and to only hire Michigan residents or contract with firms that promise the same, unless the project cannot be completed only with just Michigan residents. Violators could have their tax breaks revoked and required to pay all or part of their tax breaks. 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.
