Introduced
by
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 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.
