Title: Economic development projects, qualifying projects for tax incentives, base wage requirements under Section 40-18-190, Code of Alabama 1975, amendments in Act 2009-722, effective date of new requirements delayed for applications filed by November 21, 2009
Summary: HB109 preserves the pre-2009 base wage definition for certain qualifying economic development projects that filed a statement of intent by November 21, 2009.
What This Bill Does
It creates a transition rule for base wage requirements for qualifying projects that filed a statement of intent with the Department of Revenue on or before November 21, 2009. For those projects, the base wage requirement uses the pre Act 2009-722 definition. All other qualifying projects would follow the new base wage definition under Act 2009-722. The act repeals conflicting laws and takes effect immediately after the governor signs it.

Who It Affects
Investing companies with qualifying projects that filed a written statement of intent on or before November 21, 2009, whose base wage requirement would be the pre-Act 2009-722 definition.
All other qualifying projects would be subject to the base wage requirements under Act 2009-722 (the new definition).

Key Provisions
Transition rule: for qualifying projects with intent filed by November 21, 2009, the base wage requirement is defined as it was prior to the effective date of Act 2009-722.
Repeal of laws or parts that conflict with this act.
Effective date: immediately following approval by the Governor.
