2008 House Bill 5780 ↩

House Roll Call 406: Passed

To prohibit granting “<a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-HB-5047">21st Century Jobs Fund</a>” business subsidies unless the recipient promises not to knowingly hire illegal aliens, and only to hire Michigan residents or contract with firms that promise the same in the construction of subsidized 21st Century Jobs Fund projects or facilities, unless the projects cannot be constructed only with Michigan residents. Violators could have their subsidies revoked and be required to pay all or part of their subsidies. The Michigan Strategic Fund would be required to report to the legislature each year the number of residents employed by 21st Century Jobs Fund projects and the specific reasons for each exemption granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
