Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

The Commissioner of Economic and Community Development may determine that the employment opportunities offered by a business in the state have been severely impacted by a prime defense contract cutback. The commissioner shall make such a determination only after a public hearing, at which hearing information shall be submitted to support findings required by this section. In making such determination the commissioner may require the submission by such business of all books, records, documents, drawings, specifications, certifications and other evidentiary items which it deems appropriate. In determining that employment opportunities offered by a business in this state have been severely impacted by a prime defense contract cutback the commissioner shall find that:

(1) The business derives, or derived at the period of time before a prime defense contract cutback occurred, over fifty per cent of its gross income, generated by operations within the state, from prime defense contracts or from subcontracts entered into in connection with prime defense contracts, and a significant portion of its facilities and equipment are designed for defense production and cannot be converted to nondefense production without substantial investment;

(2) The business has suffered a cancellation of one or more prime defense contracts or related subcontracts, or a significant reduction in prime defense contract or related subcontract awards or orders;

(3) The business has reduced its workforce substantially, or will reduce its workforce substantially, as a result of such cancellation of prime defense contracts or related subcontracts or of the reduction of prime defense contract or related subcontract awards or orders.
