"Today, Democrats in the Michigan House of Representatives passed "Hire Michigan First," an aggressive job-creation plan that makes sure our tax dollars create jobs for our workers – not people from other states or even other countries.

The plan now goes to the Senate. We call on leaders there to step up and how that they, too, support Michigan's working families."

The "Hire Michigan First" plan will:
  • Award state tax breaks and other economic development tools to companies that hire the most Michigan residents. This rule would apply to projects handled by the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and certain state-funded programs, including the Michigan Economic Growth Authority, the Renaissance Zone Act and several others.
  • Encourage transparency and accountability by requiring companies that take economic development incentives to report on who they hire to ensure that Michigan residents are put first. 
  • Crack down on companies that hire undocumented workers by canceling their state contracts and tax incentives, requiring them to pay back incentives they received and barring them from future contracts.
