(b) Sense of the Senate.—It is the sense of the Senate that— (1) Enterprise Zones are a vital, proven tool for inner-city revitalization; and (2) Congress should adopt Federal enterprise zone legislation and that such legislation should include the following provisions: (A) Competitive designation which will maximize State and local participation; (B) Tax incentives addressing both capital and labor costs; (C) Tax incentives aimed at attracting investment in small business; and (D) Tax incentives to encourage the hiring and training of economically disadvantaged individuals.
