Introduced
by
To prohibit granting state selective tax breaks and subsidies unless the recipient promises not to hire illegal aliens, to comply in good faith with the legal status verification requirements of federal law, and only to hire Michigan residents or contract with firms that promise the same, unless the project cannot be completed with just Michigan residents. Violators could have their tax breaks revoked and required to pay all or part of their credits. Reports from the Michigan Strategic Fund and related state economic development entities would have to include the number of residents employed by beneficiaries of their programs and the specific reasons for exemptions granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
Referred to the Committee on Commerce
