2009 Senate Bill 295

House Roll Call 314: Passed

To prohibit a local government from granting Obsolete Property Rehabilitation property tax breaks unless the recipient promises in writing not to knowingly hire illegal aliens, and to only hire Michigan residents or people who plan to become residents, or contract with firms that promise the same, unless the project cannot be completed only with just Michigan residents. 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.
