Original Committee Reference: BUDGET
SUMMARY : Makes technical clarifications to the Enterprise Zone
programs that are set to expire on December 31, 2013, according
to SB 90 (Galgiani), Chapter 70, Statutes of 2013, and AB 93
(Budget Committee), Chapter 69, Statutes of 2013.
The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this bill,
and instead:
1)Revise the provisions to allow a taxpayer to apply for a
voucher to claim a hiring credit until January 1, 2015, for
tax incentive programs that are scheduled to end by December
31, 2013, through local agencies established prior to the
passage of AB 93 (Budget Committee). State that the taxpayer
must apply for and the local agency must issue the voucher no
later than January 1, 2015.
2)Clarify that the hiring tax credits for Enterprise Zone (EZs)
and Local Agency Military Base Recovery Areas (LAMBRAs) shall
not be allowed with respect to any employee starting
employment on or after January 1, 2014.
3)Clarify that a taxpayer may carry forward existing tax credits
earned under Targeted Tax Areas, LAMBRAs, Manufacturing
Enhancement Areas, and EZs, for a period of 10 years,
beginning with the 2014 taxable year. Under existing law, for
credits earned on or after January 1, 2014, the carry forward
period is 10 years after the credit is earned.
FISCAL EFFECT : Unknown
COMMENTS : This bill provides additional clarification to the
two EZ bills that were passed in June of 2013. This bill
ensures that additional concerns with the vouchering process and

the hiring credit provisions are addressed prior to the
implementation in January.
