Tax incentives; reimbursement for violation of labor and trafficking laws provided for
HB 346 would prevent businesses that violate human trafficking or child labor laws from receiving Alabama Jobs Act tax incentives. Specifically, it requires companies found guilty of violating these laws to pay back the full value of any tax breaks, grants, or abatements they received. The bill also updates Alabama law to mandate that the Secretary of Commerce verify businesses do not engage in such violations before approving tax incentives. This directly affects any business seeking economic development tax incentives under Alabama's Jobs Act.
