Provides that the territorial jurisdiction of Waukegan, North Chicago, and Zion may be designated as an enterprise zone. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Further amends the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. Provides that an enterprise zone may be created by the corporate authorities of Waukegan, North Chicago, and Zion in territory that is located within the territorial jurisdiction of those municipalities and that meets all of the qualifications for enterprise zones under the Act. Provides that the creation of that enterprise zone is subject to approval by the Director of Commerce and Community Affairs. STATE DEBT NOTE (Economic and Fiscal Commission) HB 282 would not affect the bonding authorization of the State, and, therefore, has no direct impact on the level of State indebtedness. STATE DEBT NOTE, H-AM 1 (Economic and Fiscal Commission) Same as previous note. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) Because the number of new enterprise zones resulting from this legislation is unknown, a reasonable estimate of the fiscal impact on the Department cannot be made at this time. In addi- tion, there will be an unknown amount of tax revenue loss to the State due to new enterprise zones. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 3 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) The fiscal impact to certify and monitor new enterprise zones is estimated to be up to $300 each time an enterprise zone is established or amended. In addition, there will be an unknown tax revenue loss to the State due to new enterprise zones. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Changes "zone" to "zones". HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 3.
