                    As Amended:May 19, 2014            Fiscal: Yes 

        
        SUBJECT:  Economic development: international trade and investment  
        strategy. 
        
        SUMMARY:  Updates requirements for the international trade strategy  
        prepared by the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development  
        (GO-Biz) to be based on current and emerging market conditions and the  
        needs of investors, businesses, and workers to be competitive in  
        global markets.

        Existing law:
        
        1)Establishes GO-Biz within the Governor's Office for the purpose of  
          serving as the lead state entity for economic strategy and marketing  
          of California on issues relating to business development, private  
          sector investment and economic growth.  GO-Biz also serves as the  
          administrative oversight for the California Business Investment  
          Service and the Office of the Small Business Advocate.  (GC §§ 12096  
          - 12098.5)

        2)Specifies that GO-Biz is the primary state agency authorized to  
          attract foreign investments, cooperate in international public  
          infrastructure projects, and support California businesses in  
          accessing markets, and requires the Director of GO-Biz to develop an  
          international trade and investment program (Program) attracting  
          employment-producing direct foreign investment to the state and  
          provides support for California businesses in accessing  
          international markets and increasing exports.  (GC § 13996.41) 

        3)Authorizes GO-Biz to establish international trade and investment  
          (ITI) offices outside of the U.S. according to certain requirements.

                                                                         Page 2



           (GC § 13996.42)

        4)Requires GO-Biz to prepare an international trade and investment  
          strategy (Strategy) and provide a report to the Legislature on or  
          before February 1, 2014, updated once every five years that  
          includes:  (GC § 13996.55)

           a)   Policy goals, objectives and recommendations necessary to  
             implement a comprehensive international trade and investment  
             program.

           b)   Measurable outcomes and timelines for the goals, objectives  
             and actions for the program.

           c)   Impediments to achieving goals and objectives.

           d)   Key stakeholder partnerships that will be used to implement  
             the strategy.

           e)   Options for funding.

           f)   An organizational structure for state administration of  
             international trade and investment policies, programs and  
             services.  

        1)Requires the Director of GO-Biz to prepare the following:  (GC §  
          13996.65)

           a)   A budget for the Program and a separately stated budget for  
             each ITI office, with specified information.

           b)   A strategy and business plan for the Program, with specified  
             information, that is developed with input from California  
             businesses that shall include, but not be limited to, measurable  
             goals, objectives, and outcomes and timelines necessary to  
             attract employment-producing direct foreign investment to the  
             state and increase California exports.  

           c)   A written review of the implementation of the prior year's  
             strategy and business plan for the Program that addresses the  
             performance of the program and each ITI Office.  

        1)Provides that the Controller shall not allocate any state funds to  
          GO-Biz for international trade and investment activities unless the  
          strategy for international trade and investment has been submitted  
          to the Legislature by May 1, 2014.  (GC § 13996.75)

                                                                         Page 3




        2)Establishes processes and accountability measures for GO-Biz to  
          accept private monies to fund, establish and operate international  
          trade offices.  Authorizes GO-Biz to accept private sector moneys in  
          an amount not in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per  
          donation made to the state for the purpose of promoting  
          international trade and investment, subject to the Political Reform  
          Act requirements, and not in excess of a total of ten thousand  
          dollars ($10,000) per quarter per donor, and specifies the purposes  
          for which moneys may be used. (GC § 13997)

        3)Creates the California Economic Development Fund (Fund) in the State  
          Treasury for the purpose of receiving federal, state, local and  
          private economic development funds, and receiving repayment of loans  
          or grant proceeds and interest on those loans and grants, and  
          provides that upon appropriation by the Legislature, moneys in the  
          Fund may be expended by the GO-Biz to provide matching funds for  
          loans or grants to public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and  
          private entities, and for other economic development purposes,  
          consistent with the purposes for which moneys were received.

        4)Specifies that GO-Biz is the primary state agency responsible for  
          international trade and investment activities in areas other than  
          those covered by the Department of Food and Agriculture.

        This bill:  Requires the next Strategy, on or before February 1, 2019,  
        to be based on current and emerging market conditions and the needs of  
        investors, businesses, and workers to be competitive in markets as  
        reflected in a framework that enables GO-Biz to evaluate current  
        workforce, capital, marketing, infrastructure, research and  
        development, and other needs of small and large firms, including, but  
        not limited to, highways, airports, and rail that link businesses with  
        the state's ports of entry and foreign and domestic markets.   
        Authorizes GO-Biz to base the Strategy, to the extent relevant and  
        feasible, on existing studies and reports, including, but not limited  
        to, the Goods Movement Action Plan, the California Strategic Workforce  
        Development Plan, the California Export of Recycled Materials Report,  
        the California Five-Year Infrastructure Plan, and the Environmental  
        Goals and Policy Report. 
        
        FISCAL EFFECT:  This bill is keyed  fiscal  .  According to the Assembly  
        Committee on Appropriations analysis dated January 24, 2014, this bill  
        will result in General Fund costs to GO-Biz of approximately $50,000.

                                                                         Page 4



        1. Purpose.  The  Author  is the Sponsor of this measure.  According to  
           the Author, "California has not fully studied our current trade  
           infrastructure system and the capacity needs that can promote our  
           International Trade abilities, yet the state continues to try and  
           push forward with policies that may not be addressing the actual  
           needs of our trade infrastructure throughout the state."  The  
           Author believes that while it is necessary to begin to look for  
           economic development opportunities and set goals to achieve those,  
           including the crucial role international trade should play, the  
           current criteria required to be a part of the Strategy do not go  
           far enough.  In response, the Author intends for this bill to  
           require a full analysis of the transportation infrastructure and  
           physical capacity necessary to meet the import and export needs of  
           California's land, sea and air ports of entry.

        2. Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and  
           International Trade Efforts in California.  In February 2010, the  
           Little Hoover Commission undertook a review of the state's economic  
           and workforce development programs.  In its final report, Making up  
           for Lost Ground:  Creating a Governor's Office of Economic  
           Development, it analyzed the status and effectiveness of current  
           programs since the 2003 demise of the Technology, Trade and  
           Commerce Agency and recommended the creation of a new governmental  
           entity to fill the void left by the dismantled agency.

           The report called for a single entity that would promote greater  
           economic development, foster job creation, serve as a policy  
           advisor and deliver specific services (i.e., permitting, tax,  
           regulatory, and other information) directly to the California  
           business community.  In April 2010, Governor Schwarzenegger issued  
           Executive Order S-05-10 as a means to operationalize the report  
           recommendations including the creation of the Governor's Office of  
           Economic Development (GOED).

           In October 2011, the Governor signed  AB 29  (cited and described  
           below), which effectively codified GOED and changed its name to  
           GO-Biz, effective January 1, 2012.  Since its inception, the office  
           has served over 3,000 businesses, 95% of which are small.  The most  
           frequent types of assistance include help with permit streamlining,  
           starting a businesses, relocation and expansion of businesses, and  
           regulatory challenges.  

           When the Technology Trade and Commerce Agency (TTCA) was eliminated  
           in 2004 due to its poor administrative performance, the authority  
           for all state trade activity was also eliminated and the few  
           remaining programs came under the umbrella of the Business,  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 5



           Transportation and Housing Agency (BT&H).  The former International  
           Investment Division under TTCA had 91 employees and a budget of $43  
           million, allowing it to engage in activities like formal marketing.  
            Beginning in the 2005-06 Session, several legislative measures  
           were introduced to reinstate the state's trade authority.   SB 1530   
           (Romero, 2006) addressed these concerns by requiring BT&H to  
           undertake a trade study to determine what role the state should  
           play in international trade and foreign investment activities and  
           required them to establish a business advisory committee, and  
           development of a trade strategy consistent with the study and acts  
           as the vehicle for implementing the state's trade policy.  The  
           first strategy was published in February 2008 and most recent was  
           issued in February 2014. 

           The strategy highlighted strategic objectives intended to implement  
           an overall policy of creating jobs, increasing revenues for  
           California enterprises, and improving California's international  
           competitiveness by expanding the export of California goods and  
           services and by increasing foreign direct investment into the  
           state.  The objectives include:

                     Developing a comprehensive, coordinated and cohesive  
                strategy development framework with a clear vision to expand  
                trade and investment, which includes other relevant state  
                agencies, with input from private and public sector  
                stakeholders.

                     Implementing more proactive outreach, awareness,  
                education and engagement programs both within the state for  
                California-based companies and through foreign partners and  
                trade office(s).

                     Maximizing China Trade Office resources and  
                opportunities to expand exports and investment.

                     Developing an action plan to address key challenges  
                facing California's ports and related infrastructure to ensure  
                their competitiveness.

                     Re-engaging and strengthening working relationships with  
                the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the state's  
                Congressional delegation to advocate California interests  
                related to international trade and investment.

                     Developing and implementing a more user-friendly,  
                comprehensive, interactive and useful website to assist  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 6



                California companies wanting to export and to attract foreign  
                investment.

           In the report, GO-Biz advised it will reevaluate, when appropriate  
           or necessary, the recommended objectives and actions in order to  
           achieve the state's overall international trade and investment  
           policy goals.

           In February 2014, Governor Brown announced the creation of a  
           California International Trade and Investment Advisory Council  
           (Council) which will advise GO-Biz on strategies to expand  
           international trade and investment for California businesses.   
           Specifically, in announcing its creation, the Governor noted that  
           the Council "will assist GO-Biz in identifying foreign markets with  
           the greatest potential for export expansion and in developing  
           specific export strategies for those markets - including the  
           state's top trading partners, Canada, Mexico and China, and  
           emerging markets such as Brazil and India."   
           
           Until the creation of GO-Biz there were only a very small number of  
           former International Investment Division staff working on trade  
           related issues and activities for the state.  GO-Biz now has  
           authority for undertaking international trade and foreign  
           investment activities, including establishing any international  
           trade and investment office (  AB 2012  , Perez, Statutes of 2012).   
           GO-Biz has partnered with the Bay Area Council to open a  
           California-China Trade and Investment office in Shanghai's downtown  
           Yangpu district.  In a March 2013 report to the Legislature on the  
           status of this effort, GO-Biz described the office's goals "to  
           drive increased employment, revenues at California enterprises, tax  
           revenues, and international competitiveness in California" which  
           will be accomplished through promoting investment in California;  
           facilitating two-way international business growth, with an  
           emphasis on expanding foreign sales by California employers,  
           including not only manufacturers, agricultural enterprises, and  
           commodity producers, but also service providers such as  
           universities, banks, consulting companies, and the like; supporting  
           continued growth of California's role as a gateway state for goods  
           movement and passenger travel; and identifying and addressing  
           barriers to international expansion by California employers. 

        1. Infrastructure Needs and Prior Evaluations.  This bill allows  
           GO-Biz to base the state's trade and investment strategy on  
           existing studies and reports like the Goods Movement Action Plan,  
           the California Strategic Workforce Development Plan, the California  
           Export of Recycled Materials Report, the California Five-Year  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 7



           Infrastructure Plan, and the Environmental Goals and Policy Report.  
         
           a)   Goods Movement Action Plan.  In 2006, California voters  
             approved Proposition 1B, the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction,  
             Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 to authorize  
             $19.925 billion of state general obligation bonds for specified  
             purposes, including high-priority transportation corridor  
             improvements, State Route 99 corridor enhancements, trade  
             infrastructure and port security projects, school bus retrofit  
             and replacement purposes, state transportation improvement  
             program augmentation, transit and passenger rail improvements,  
             state-local partnership transportation projects, transit security  
             projects, local bridge seismic retrofit projects,  
             highway-railroad grade separation and crossing improvement  
             projects, state highway safety and rehabilitation projects, and  
             local street and road improvement, congestion relief, and traffic  
             safety.   Prop 1B  required the California Transportation  
             Commission to consult a "trade infrastructure and goods movement  
             plan submitted to CTC by the Secretary of the former Business,  
             Transportation and Housing Agency (BT&H) and California  
             Environmental Protection Agency (Cal-EPA) in determining the  
             allocation of around $3 billion of the over $19 billion  
             authorized by the bond.  The Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP)  
             was issued in 2007 as a comprehensive plan to address economic  
             and environmental issues associated with moving goods via the  
             state's highways, railways, and ports.  Last year,  AB 14   
             (Lowenthal, Chapter 223, Statutes of 2013) created a new plan,  
             the Freight Mobility Plan, to comply with the federally enacted  
             Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, known as  
             MAP-21 which authorizes federal transportation funding to states  
             through September 30, 2014.  The new California plan is intended  
             to provide a comprehensive plan to govern the state's short- and  
             long-term planning activities and capital investments relating to  
             freight movement.  
              
           b)   California Strategic Workforce Development Plan.  The federal  
             Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires the Governor to submit a  
             WIA/Wagner-Peyser Act (WPA) State Plan to the United States  
             Department of Labor (DOL). This plan outlines a five-year  
             strategy for the investment of federal workforce training and  
             employment services dollars.   SB 293  (Ducheny, Chapter 630,  
             Statutes of 2006) required the California Workforce Investment  
             Board (CWIB) to collaborate with the Chancellor of the California  
             Community Colleges, the State Department of Education, other  
             appropriate state agencies, and local workforce investment boards  
             to develop a comprehensive state plan that serves as a framework  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 8



             for public policy, fiscal investment, and operation of all state  
             labor exchange, workforce education, and training programs.  The  
             current plan prepared by the CWIB for 2013-2017, Shared Strategy  
             for Shared Prosperity, states that public and private  
             institutions, including education, training, unemployment, and  
             re-employment systems, must support a "retraining economy" for  
             California to maintain its status as a place of innovation and  
             shared prosperity and that workers must be learners who can  
             traverse a labor market landscape that is less about "jobs" and  
             more about a set of marketable skills broadly relevant to  
             industry sectors within regional economies. 

           c)   California Export of Recycled Materials Report.  Issued in  
             July 2013, the report contains information about the types of  
             recyclables exported from California's ports, the amount shipped,  
             and their value. The report found that overall, recyclables  
             exported by sea made up over one quarter of the total weight  
             (28%) shipped from California ports in 2012 and these recyclables  
             accounted for approximately 8% of the total value of all exports  
             shipped from California. The report also noted that China  
             continues to be the largest market for recycled materials,  
             receiving over half of the total weight shipped out from  
             California by sea. 

           d)   California Five-Year Infrastructure Plan.  The California  
             Infrastructure Planning Act requires the Governor to submit a  
             five-year infrastructure plan to the Legislature for  
             consideration with the annual budget bill.  According to the 2014  
             plan, it evaluates the state's infrastructure needs in the  
             overall context of available funding sources, what the state can  
             afford, and how the state can grow in the most sustainable way  
             possible. The plan states that the preservation of the state's  
             long-term fiscal stability means the General Fund cannot afford  
             to shoulder the cost of all potential infrastructure investments  
             and instead, the state must focus its limited infrastructure  
             dollars on core state responsibilities.  The plan proposes to  
             invest $56.7 billion in capital funding to renovate and augment  
             California's aging infrastructure over the next five years.

           e)   Environmental Goals and Policy Report.   AB 2070 , passed in  
             1970, created the Governor's Office of Planning and Research  
             (OPR) and called for OPR to prepare and maintain an Environmental  
             Goals and Policy Report (EGPR). The EGPR aims to provide an  
             overview of the state's environmental goals, keys steps to  
             achieving these goals, and develop a framework of metrics and  
             indicators to help inform decision making, at all levels, to help  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 9



             track progress toward reaching these goals.  The 2013 draft EGPR,  
             "California's Climate Future," states that "as the state  
             continues to grow, we must do so in a way that is in harmony with  
             the state's environment and natural resources." The report also  
             seeks to consider growth in the context of climate change,  
             "undoubtedly the biggest environmental challenge of our time.  
             Climate change and the state's efforts to confront it will touch  
             nearly every aspect of the state's planning and investment for  
             the future."
            
         1. Related Legislation This Year.   SB 511  (Lieu) of 2014 would require  
           GO-Biz to convene a statewide business partnership for port trade  
           promotion and would create an export finance office to provide  
           export assistance to small and medium sized companies.  (  Status:    
           The bill is currently pending in the Assembly Committee on Jobs,  
           Economic Development and the Economy.)

            SB 928  (Correa) of 2014 requires GO-Biz to establish an  
           international trade and investment office in Mexico City, Mexico by  
           January 1, 2016.  (  Status:   The bill is pending in the Assembly.)

            AB 2713  (Quirk-Silva) of 2014 authorizes GO-Biz to establish  
           public-private partnerships to help guide state activities related  
           to the export of California products and requires GO-Biz to  
           establish the South Korean Trade Promotion Advisory Committee to  
           help guide state activities related to the export of California  
           products to South Korea and the attraction of employment-producing  
           direct foreign investment by South Korean investors.  (  Status:   The  
           bill is also up in this Committee on June 9)         

        2. Prior Related Legislation.   SB 592  (Lieu) of 2013 was identical to  
           SB 511 and also would have required GO-Biz to provide a port trade  
           promotion strategy to the Legislature on or before April 1, 2014.   
           (  Status:   The bill was held in the Assembly Committee on  
           Appropriations.)   
        
            SB 810  (Price, 2013) would have authorized the California  
           Transportation Financing Authority to award $500 million in tax  
           credit certificates to exporters and importers, as defined, for the  
           specified increases in cargo tonnage or value, net increases in the  
           number of qualified full-time employees hired in California, or  
           capital investment in a cargo facility.  (  Status:   The bill is  
           pending in the Senate Committee on Governance and Finance.)  

            AB 412 (Allen) of 2013 stated the intent of the Legislature to  
           enact legislation to enhance and expand opportunities for  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 10



           California businesses to engage in international trade.  (  Status:    
           The bill was held in the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.) 

            AB 886  (Allen) of 2013 stated the intent of the Legislature to  
           enact legislation that would address issues that enhance and expand  
           opportunities for California business to engage in international  
           trade with Latin America and other nations.  (  Status:   The bill was  
           held in the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.) 

            AB 1081  (Medina) of 2013 would have required the international  
           trade and investment strategy prepared by GO-Biz to include the  
           identification of trade-related infrastructure enhancements to  
           support the state's international trade policies, programs, and  
           services and requires the interregional transportation improvement  
           program prepared by the Department of Transportation to include  
           projects to improve international movement of goods through air,  
           land, and water ports.  (  Status:   The bill was held in the Assembly  
           Committee on Appropriations.) 

            AB 1088  (Muratsuchi) would have required GO-Biz, no later than  
           January 1, 2016, to establish an overseas trade office in Tokyo,  
           Japan.  (  Status  : This bill was never heard in a policy committee.)

            AB 1201  (Allen) of 2013 stated the intent of the Legislature to  
           enact legislation that would address issues that enhance and expand  
           opportunities for California business to engage in international  
           trade with the European Union and other nations.  (  Status:   The  
           bill was never heard in a policy committee.)  

            AJR 4  (Hueso, Pérez, Res. Chapter 24, Statutes of 2013) urges the  
           federal government to fund necessary improvements at the San  
           Ysidro, Calexico, and Otay Mesa Ports of Entry.    
             
           AB 2012  (Perez, Chapter 294, Statutes of 2012) transferred the  
           authority for undertaking international trade and foreign  
           investment activities from BTH to GO-Biz, including establishing  
           any international trade and investment office.  
         
            SB 460  (Price) of 2011 included similar language as contained in SB  
           511 and SB 592 above,    (  Status  :  The bill was held in the  
           Assembly Committee on Appropriations.)
             
            SB 830  (Wright, 2011) is virtually identical SB 810 of 2013.   
           (  Status:   This measure failed passage in the Senate Committee on  
           Revenue and Taxation.) 






                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 11



            SCR 33  (Price, Resolution Chapter 60, Statutes of 2011) expressed  
           the sentiment of the Legislature that the EB-5 visa program is  
           beneficial to the state's economic development and provides  
           important opportunities for foreign direct investment to  
           California.   

            AB 29  (John A. Pérez, Chapter 475, Statutes of 2011) established  
           GO-Biz within the Governor's Office for the purpose of serving as  
           the lead entity for economic strategy and marketing of California  
           on issues relating to business development, private sector  
           investment and economic growth.  
            
           AB 1137  (V. Manuel Pérez, 2011) would have facilitated local  
           economic development and job creation by assisting small business  
           to access new export markets for their goods and services, updating  
           the law relating to free trade zones, and authorizing the use of  
           new federal funds under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010.   
           (  Status:   This measure was held in the Senate Committee on  
           Appropriations.)  
            
            AB 2656  (Calderon, 2011) is virtually identical to SB 810 of 2013.   
           (  Status:   This measure was held in the Assembly Committee on  
           Appropriations.) 

            SB 1175  (Price, 2010) would have required the Secretary of BTH to  
           direct the California Travel and Tourism Commission to conduct a  
           review of its principal mission and core competencies in order to  
           determine if the commission should include trade promotion in its  
           strategic marketing plan or other future plans of the commission  
           and provide a report to the Legislature.  (  Status:   This measure  
           was held in the Senate Committee on Rules.)  

            AB 2443  (Perez, 2010) required the state point of contact for trade  
           agreements to provide specified Legislative committees with copies  
           of any official position taken or comments, that any entity within  
           the executive branch of state government provided to the U.S. Trade  
           Representative relating to a pending trade agreement.  The bill  
           also created a new process for the establishment of Sister State  
           relationships with a purpose of promoting economic growth and trade  
           and investment opportunities.  (  Status:  This measure was vetoed by  
           the Governor.)
            
            AB 1409  (Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy Committee) of  
           2011 would have required that the next update by BTH of the  
           international trade and investment strategy to include policy  
           goals, objectives and recommendations from the state Goods Movement  





                                                                         AB 337
                                                                         Page 12



           Action Plan.  (  Status  :  The bill was amended to deal with another  
           subject matter and held in the Senate Committee on Rules in 2012.)   
             
            
           AB 1558  (Assembly Committee on Jobs, 2009) aimed to recodify and  
           reorganize sections of the Government Code to create one  
           comprehensive code for the state's international trade activities  
           and programs.  (  Status:   The measure was amended to deal with  
           reorganization of the state's economic development programs.  This  
           measure was held in the Senate Committee on Appropriations in  
           2010.)

            AB 1722  (Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy,  
           2008) would have required BT&H to provide the Legislature with a  
           copy of the international trade and investment policy, which is a  
           result of its work on the required international trade study and  
           strategy.  (  Status:   This measure was vetoed by the Governor.)

            AJR 14  (Jeffries, Resolution Chapter 73, Statutes of 2007)  
           memorialized the President of the U.S. and Congress to enact  
           legislation to ensure that a substantial increment of new revenues  
           derived from customs duties and importation fees be dedicated to  
           mitigating the economic, mobility, security, and environmental  
           impacts of trade in California and other trade-affected states  
           across the U.S.  

            SB 1513  (Romero, Chapter 663, Statutes of 2006) provided new  
           authority for BT&H to undertake international trade and investment  
           activities, and as a condition of that new authority, directs the  
           development of a comprehensive international trade and investment  
           policy for California.   
         
         3. Arguments in Support.  The  California Asian Pacific Chamber of  
           Commerce  believes that "it is important to ensure there is a clear  
           understanding of foreign investment and trade and that it should  
           include the role that the ports of entry in California have on the  
           overall economy of the state."

          According to the Harbor Association of Industry and Commerce, "the  
          twin ports of Los Angeles-Long Beach are the driving economic force  
          in Southern California and we need to help not only Los Angeles-Long  
          Beach ports but all California ports to keep their leading edge".
