Despite the fact that new businesses in Santa Clarita will be able to take part in the Enterprise Zone program, Jonathan Randles has reported that new legislation is being discussed that could make the area’s EZ program much less effective.

Randles reports that Assemblyman John Perez, D-Los Angeles, is sponsoring an amendment that would require businesses to hire full-time employees and give their employees health benefits to receive the full tax credits.

This would dramatically decrease the effectiveness of the EZ program, since the costs of the health benefits would essentially wipe out the savings from the Enterprise Zone credits.
