AI Summary

  • Establishes an Interstate Compact Prohibiting Company-Specific Subsidies to prevent states from offering company-specific tax incentives, grants, or other subsidies to entities located in or relocating to other member states.

  • Defines "company-specific subsidy" as tax incentives or grants offered to a specific company that are unavailable to similarly-situated companies, excluding workforce development training grants.

  • Creates a Board of Compact Administrators composed of one representative from each member state, with authority to administer the compact, hold annual meetings, adopt bylaws, and enforce compliance through potential termination of violating states.
