Bill > HB1374

This bill establishes new conditions for employers to receive job creation incentives, which are financial benefits like tax credits, deductions, grants, loans, or loan guarantees from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). To be eligible, employers must not recognize union representation solely based on signed authorization cards if a secret ballot election, a process where employees anonymously vote for or against union representation, is possible. They also cannot voluntarily share an employee's personal contact information (home address, personal phone number, or personal email) with a labor organization or its representative without the employee's written consent, unless legally required. Furthermore, employers are prohibited from signing neutrality agreements with labor organizations, which are pacts where the employer agrees to certain conditions, such as not discussing union matters with employees, and cannot require subcontractors to engage in these prohibited activities. The IEDC must enter into a separate agreement with incentive recipients to recover the incentive's value if these conditions are violated. This agreement will have a term of at least twenty years for incentives of $5 million or more, or a shorter term for lesser amounts. The IEDC is required to investigate any reports of noncompliance during the agreement's term and, if a violation is found, will notify the employer and the Attorney General's office to begin proceedings to recover the incentive funds.
