House Bill 521 Presents Potential Impact on KOZ/KOEZProgram
House Bill 521, which recently passed a vote of the House of Representatives, presents several impactsto the KOZ/KOEZ program should it pass the Senate and be enacted in its current form. The bill,which does present some favorable opportunities, amends the definition of “contiguous” to say thatconnection by means of a legal right-of-way such as a road, street or rail line is not in fact contiguous.This change could mean that sub zones now considered contiguous and legitimate under the KOZ/ KOEZ Program would be disallowed under HB 521 if enacted as currently written.HB 521 has not yet passed the Senate and PEDA is in discussion with Senate officials concerningpossible amendments to this bill. A PDF copy of the bill is attached in the e-mail that carried thisNews Flash. If you are involved with KOZs and KOEZs, please review the bill and share your thoughtsupon it with PEDA and your Senator.
