Introduced
by
To give preference in awarding renaissance zone tax breaks to recipients who promise 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 facility cannot be operated with just Michigan residents. Violators could be required to repay some or all of the some or all of the exemptions, deductions, or credits received. An annual renaissance zone report to the Michigan Strategic Fund would have to state the number of residents employed by the zones and the specific reasons for each exemption granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
