A bill to create the call center jobs retention act; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state governmental officers and entities; to impose certain duties on certain employers; and to prescribe civil sanctions.
Together, House Bills 5164 and 5165 would require the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) to maintain a registry of call centers that have relocated internationally out of Michigan and would disqualify those businesses from eligibility for economic development incentives administered by the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF). The bills would increase costs to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and the Michigan Strategic Fund and have no direct fiscal impact on local government. The amount of increase to LEO and the MSF would depend on the costs of the additional administrative responsibilities under the bills’ provisions and are not likely to be significant.
