AI Summary

This bill, amending the Michigan Strategic Fund Act, prohibits companies that receive economic incentives from the state from buying back their own stock while they are receiving those incentives or are subject to an agreement for them. An "economic incentive" is defined broadly to include grants, loans, tax breaks, or any other financial assistance provided by the Michigan Strategic Fund, which also includes the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). A "stock buyback" is specifically defined as a company repurchasing its own shares, which are then retired, canceled, or held by the company. The bill also mandates that future agreements for economic incentives with publicly traded companies must include clauses preventing stock buybacks and requiring the repayment of incentives plus a 10% penalty if this prohibition is violated.
