2008 House Bill 5787 ↩

House Roll Call 414: Passed

To require the Michigan Historical Center to give preference to an applicant for historic preservation tax credits to applicants who promise not to knowingly hire illegal aliens, and only to hire Michigan residents to assist in the rehabilitation of a historic resource, 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. The Michigan Historical Center’s annual report to the Legislature would have to include the number of residents employed and the specific reasons for each exemption granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
