Original Committee Reference: RULES
SUMMARY : Proclaims April 2013 as the month to celebrate the
sustainable leadership of California wineries and winegrape
growers with the theme, "California Wines: Down to Earth."
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)Growing participation in organic, biodynamic, and sustainable
certification programs further conveys California vintners'
and growers' adherence to high standards and dedication to
continuous improvement.
2)California's wine community conserves water, energy, and other
natural resources; protects habitat, employee welfare, air,
water, and soil quality; and, promotes the use of natural pest
management and alternative energy and fuels.
3)California's wineries and winegrape growers are primarily
family businesses, with a long-term commitment to the health
and vitality of their communities; and, to preserve the land
for future generations.
The Senate amendments add co-authors to the resolution and make
a technical change of the spelling of "Wine Grape" growers to
"Winegrape" growers.
