What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law the Department of Commerce (Commerce) may designate

a portion of the state as a development opportunity zone. Taxpayers that conduct

business or intend to conduct business within a development opportunity zone may

receive certain tax benefits after submitting a qualifying project plan in conjunction

with the local governing body of the city in which the development opportunity zone

is located.

This bill creates a development opportunity zone in the city of Beloit effective

for 60 months, beginning September 1, 2010, and covering an area to be determined

by the city's governing board. The total of allowable tax benefits for that development

opportunity zone is $5,000,000, except that, under the bill, Commerce may extend

the designation of an opportunity zone for the city of Beloit for an additional 60

months and an additional $5,000,000 of total tax benefits if Commerce determines

that the extension will support economic development in the city.
