AB 2072, Knight. Public utilities: enterprise zones: military bases.
Existing law permits the Public Utilities Commission to provide incentives for the benefit of industries or business entities located within the boundaries of enterprise zones or economic incentive areas in accordance with specified provisions of law.
The bill would permit the commission to allow public utilities to provide utility service at whatever discounted rate is available in enterprise zones to facilities, as defined, that are located on federal military bases that are scheduled to be closed.
The provisions of the bill would be repealed on January 1, 1999.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
