COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
2 Senate Bill 1510
3
4 The committee substitute differs substantially from Senate
Bill 1510 in that it also allows Suwannee and Columbia
5 counties to apply for enterprise zones and allows a business
located in a Tampa enterprise zone to apply for tax incentives
6 dating back to July 1, 1995.
7 The committee substitute also removes from the bill language
exempting Liberty County's enterprise zone application from a
8 statutory provision that does not appear to be applicable to
the county's circumstances.
