Indiana House approves amendment to penalize corporations for moving
Indiana House members approved an amendment Tuesday that would allow local government to take back incentives if corporations move operations to a foreign country.
State Rep. Karlee Macer is trying to do something after Carrier announced its moving to Mexico, impacting 1,400 central Indiana jobs.
Macer wants to send a strong message to corporations that you can’t just pick up and leave when you want. She represents district 92.
Macer wrote an amendment that would penalize corporations for their actions, like taking back property tax incentives and preventing corporate tax breaks.
House members approved the amendment. It’s attached to Senate Bill 308.
The house approved the amendment by a 60-34 margin.
24-Hour News 8 reached out to some of those representatives who voted “no” for a comment, but we have not heard back.
