Corporate welfare is strictly prohibited by Article VIII, Section 8, of the state constitution.

§ 8. Commonwealth credit not to be pledged.

The credit of the Commonwealth shall not be pledged or loaned to any individual, company, corporation or association nor shall the Commonwealth become a joint owner or stockholder in any company, corporation or association.
