19 environmental protection or a worker protection
20 statute, regulation, or rule within the previous five
21 ten years. The state agency shall take into
22 consideration before allowing financial assistance

35 In considering mitigating circumstances, the state

1 receipt of the assistance, if any, of a federal or

8 more than one year that demonstrates a consistent
9 pattern of disregard for federal or state laws and
10 regulations, the business shall repay all economic
11 development assistance received during the previous

37 replaced in a given position over a one-year period.
38 Worker training assistance shall not be awarded to a
39 business if a state agency or community college finds
40 that the business seeking worker training assistance
41 has a history of high turnover in its workforce. High
42 turnover includes a rate of turnover which is
43 substantially higher than the rate of turnover for a
44 similar position at a similar business.
45 NEW PARAGRAPH. e. A business which receives
46 economic development assistance involving worker
47 training shall report the rate of turnover in its
48 workforce for the type of jobs for which worker

2 receiving worker training assistance develops a high
3 turnover in its workforce, the business shall repay
4 all worker training assistance received. High
5 turnover includes a rate of turnover which is
6 substantially higher than the rate of turnover for a
7 similar position at a similar business.
