Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.
Numerous Revenue and Taxation Code sections were affected in 1985 following legislative passage of Assembly Bill 1843. (See Exhibit #1d) This bill was introduced by Assembly member Patrick J. Nolan, as lead author. (See Exhibit #1a) The Department of Commerce sponsored Assembly Bill 1843, which apparently was an Administration-sponsored bill. (See Exhibits #7, document ARC-1 as well as #11, document SF-1) As introduced, Assembly Bill 1843 was noted to be a spot bill, awaiting the text concerning enterprise zones tax amendments which were added in the June 3, 1985 amendments. (See Exhibit #1a and #1b) “Spot Bills” are basically “bookmarks” for a later incorporation of a lengthier legislative proposal once its terms are finalized. It assures that legislative time frames for the introduction and consideration of bills are timely met.
Assembly Bill 1843 was assigned to the Assembly and the Senate Committees on Revenue and Taxation where policy issues raised by the bill were considered. (See Exhibits #3 and #8) The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Appropriations. (See Exhibits #2 and #4) Two amendments were made to Assembly Bill 1843 during legislative consideration. (See Exhibits #1b, #1c and #2) Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor George Deukmejian signed the bill on October 1st, and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on that date as Chapter 1462 of the Statutes of 1985. (See Exhibits #1d and #2)
The Office of Senate Floor Analyses prepared a Consent analysis of Assembly Bill 1843 as last amended that described this measure as follows:
DIGEST: This bill revises tax provisions which currently are available to businesses that locate in designated enterprise zone areas of the state, . . .”
