1. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, one (1) or more units (as defined in IC 36-1-2-23 ) may declare all or any part of a military base or another military installation that is inactive, closed, or scheduled for closure as an enterprise zone. The declaration shall be made by a resolution of the legislative body of the unit that contains the geographic area being declared an enterprise zone. The legislative body must include in the resolution that a U.E.A. is created or designate another entity to function as the U.E.A. under this chapter. The resolution must also be approved by the executive of the unit.

If an entity other than a U.E.A. is designated to function as a U.E.A., the entity's acceptance must be filed with the corporation along with the resolution. The enterprise zone designation is effective on the first day of the month following the day the resolution is filed with the corporation.
3. (c) Establishment of an enterprise zone under this section is not subject to the limit of two (2) new enterprise zones each year under section 9(a) of this chapter.
