The Alabama Department of Revenue states that Alabama law offers income tax incentives for new, existing, or expanding businesses, including enterprise zone credits or exemptions and an investment credit for approved projects that create new jobs in Alabama.
Assessments
Congress has not enacted a federal prohibition on states using subsidies or preferential taxes to compete for businesses, and current state incentive programs continue to exist. The supplied Congress.gov evidence also reports no matching Evans-sponsored, cosponsored, or materially advanced federal measure for this promised prohibition. Because there is no clear evidence of delivery or a serious legislative/executive attempt by Evans, this is best scored as not fulfilled without an effort badge.
