The Office of Senate Floor Analyses prepared a Consent analysis of Assembly Bill 1843 as last amended on June 25, 1985 that described this bill as follows: “This bill revises tax provisions which currently are available to businesses that locate in designated enterprise zone areas of the state, . . .” (See Exhibit #12 page 1)
Assembly member Nolan provided the following description of his bill in a letter to the Governor urging his approval:
Assembly Bill 1843 is an omnibus tax cleanup up bill for my Enterprise Zone Program and Assemblywoman Maxine Waters’ Economic Incentive Act. A majority of the bill simply clarifies existing tax codes for both programs, as well as put into law my original legislative intent for the Enterprise Zone Program.
