IN HB1652

Requires employers with 50+ full-time employees (or 50+ employees working 1,500+ aggregate hours per week) to notify the Indiana Secretary of Commerce at least 120 days before relocating a call center or 30% of its operations to a foreign country.

Imposes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day on employers that fail to provide required notification, enforceable by the Attorney General; courts may reduce penalties if employer shows just cause.

Mandates the Indiana Economic Development Corporation compile a list every six months of employers that relocated call centers to foreign countries and immediately notify state agencies providing those employers with grants, loans, or tax credits.

Disqualifies employers on the relocation list from receiving state grants, loans, or tax credits for five years after relocation, and requires recapture of unamortized incentive value already received after June 30, 2017; corporation may waive disqualification if substantial job loss, environmental harm, or significant economic impact would result.

Requires all call center and customer service work for state executive department agencies to be performed entirely within Indiana, effective July 1, 2017 for new contracts and by July 1, 2019 for existing contractor employees.
