   SCR 127, Huff. California Manufacturing Week.
   This measure would declare the week of June 16, 2014, through June
22, 2014, as California Manufacturing Week.




   WHEREAS, California has the nation's largest industrial economy,
representing 11.4 percent of total United States manufacturing output
from more than 27,000 manufacturers in the state; and
   WHEREAS, California leads the nation in aerospace, technology,
biotechnology, and food processing employment; and
   WHEREAS, California manufacturers employ over 1.2 million citizens
in high-wage, middle-class jobs and provide tremendous multiplier
benefits to other sectors of the economy; and
   WHEREAS, Many of the world's most innovative, energy-efficient,
and productive manufacturers have research labs, assembly plants, and
administration functions in California; and
   WHEREAS, Attracting new manufacturing investments to maintain
existing job creation and support new job creation is vital for the
long-term health of California's economy; and
   WHEREAS, The United States is enjoying a manufacturing renaissance
as firms increasingly choose to relocate or shift production from
overseas to more favorable locations in the United States; and
   WHEREAS, California leaders are committed to making sure
California can compete to capture its fair share of this new
manufacturing job growth and investment in the United States; and
   WHEREAS, Beginning in 2014 manufacturers will enjoy a California
state sales tax exemption for purchases of manufacturing equipment to
encourage more investments in the state; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature declares the week of June
16, 2014, through June 22, 2014, as California Manufacturing Week;
and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
