California Governor Jerry Brown’s proposals to eliminate and replace the state’s enterprise zone program did not make it into the budget bill, which is scheduled for a vote on Friday, June 14th. Legislative leaders made it clear earlier this week that they did not have the number of votes required to pass the enterprise zone legislation.
The Governor’s efforts will continue, however, as the changes he desires can be passed through legislation independent of the state’s annual budget. The Brown Administration is determined to continue pushing for these changes to the state’s tax code.
