2009 Senate Bill 296 ↩

House Roll Call 315: Passed

To require the Michigan Historical Center to give preference to an applicant for historic preservation tax credits to applicants 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 people who plan to become 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. This is "tie-barred" to House Bills 4085 and 4086, other bills in the "residents only" package which are favored by the House Democratic majority because they exempt union members from the restrictive provisions.
