THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 7071 of the Government Code is amended to read:

   7071.  The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
   (a) The health, safety, and welfare of the people of California
depend upon the development, stability, and expansion of 
private business, industry,   industry, private
business,  and commerce, and there are certain areas within the
state that are economically depressed due to a lack of investment in
the private sector. Therefore, it is declared to be the purpose of
this chapter to stimulate business and industrial growth in the
depressed areas of the state by relaxing regulatory controls that
impede private investment.
   (b) It is in the economic interest of the state to have one
strong, combined, and business-friendly incentive program to help
attract business and industry to the state, to help retain and expand
existing state business and industry, and to create increased job
opportunities for all Californians.
   (c)  No   An  enterprise zone shall 
not  be designated in which any boundary thereof is drawn in a
manner so as to include larger stable businesses or heavily
residential areas to the detriment of areas that are truly
economically depressed.
   (d)  Nothing in this   This  chapter
shall  not  be construed to infringe upon regulations
relating to the civil rights, equal employment rights, equal
opportunity rights, or fair housing rights of any person.
