2019 Senate Bill 16

Add "claw back" provisions to future state subsidies to corporations and developers

Introduced in the Senate

Jan. 15, 2019

Introduced by Sen. Jim Ananich (D-27)

To add “claw back” provisions to selective subsidy deals that state officials give to particular corporations and developers, which in theory permits the state to get back money it has given to firms that later leave the state. The bill would only apply prospectively, so companies that already have been granted several billion dollars in taxpayer subsidies in agreements lasting as long as 20 years would not be affected.

Referred to the Committee on Finance
