 from one area of the state to another area of the  state  [or],  in  the
 abandonment  of one or more plants or facilities of the project occupant
 located within the state  OR  THE  UNEMPLOYMENT  OR  RELOCATION  OF  ANY
 PERSONNEL  WHO  ARE EMPLOYED BY THE PROJECT OCCUPANT, provided, however,
 that neither restriction shall apply if the agency  shall  determine  on
 the  basis  of  the application before it that the project is reasonably
 necessary to discourage the project occupant from  removing  such  other
 plant  or  facility  to  a  location outside the state [or is reasonably
 necessary to preserve the competitive position of the  project  occupant
 in its respective industry].
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
