A California Initiative to Eliminate Tax Benefits in Enterprise Zones (#13-0005) was approved for circulation in California as a contender for the November 4, 2014 ballot as an initiated state statute.
If the initiative had qualified for the ballot and been approved by the state's voters, it would have eliminated the additional state income tax deductions and credits that can be taken by businesses operating within economically distressed areas designated as enterprise zones under California law.
Supporters of the measure called it the "Corporate Tax Break Accountability Act."
