SB 22 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Alabama Jobs Act, further provides for recapture of incentives

SB 22 amends the Alabama Jobs Act, which offers economic development incentives to businesses in Alabama. The bill allows the state to recapture these awarded incentives from a company if that company, or a related entity, engages in human trafficking violations. Additionally, incentives can be recaptured if the company violates federal child labor provisions outlined in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. This aims to add specific conditions under which the state can reclaim economic development funds.
