The Unfinished Business analysis provided the following digest of Senate Bill 114 as it was last amended on July 6, 2003:
This bill eliminates the authority of a redevelopment agency or local agency to provide any form of financial assistance to a vehicle dealer or big box retailer, as defined, that is relocating from the territorial jurisdiction of one community to the territorial jurisdiction of another community within the same market area; and abolishes the requirement that the California Research Bureau report by January 1, 2004, on the implementation of existing related statute.
Assembly amendments add co-authors and make a technical change.
