MAM Accomplishments  

MAM led the lobbying effort on the following legislative issues since its inception in 2000:

Enactment of MD’s first corporate income tax credit for R&D expenditures in 2000 - now law. (Also extended twice.)
Enactment of “single factor” corporate income tax apportionment formula for manufacturers in 2001 - now law. (Successfully fought against attempts to repeal it since 2001.)
Defeat of “throwback” legislation that would have had the effect of canceling the benefits of single factor for manufacturers.
Defeat of “addback” legislation relating to the so called “Delaware Holding Company” issue - defeated in 2003, finally passed in 2004 but with a settlement period for amnesty.
Defeat “Alternative Minimum Assessment” legislation - multiple years - this will be back.
Defeat “combined reporting” for the corporate income tax - multiple years - this will be back.
Defeat public disclosure of tax credits and exemptions received by corporations - this will be back.
Fought against “Wal Mart Bill” that required large employers to pay a payroll tax is their health insurance benefits were not at a specified level - passed but overturned by the courts.
Supported restructuring of Maryland’s Unemployment Insurance rate structure saving MD manufacturers thousands of dollars per year - now law.
