2008 House Bill 5791 ↩

House Roll Call 418: Passed

To prohibit the granting of Transportation Economic Development Fund subsidies unless the beneficiary not to knowingly hire illegal aliens, and to make a good faith effort to only hire Michigan residents and use Michigan suppliers and vendors on the project unless that means the project cannot be completed. Violators could have their subsidies revoked and be required to repay all or part of them. An annual Transportation Economic Development Fund report to the legislature and the governor would have to give the number of residents employed by beneficiaries of these subsidies, and the specific reasons for each exemption granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
