          SUMMARY:  Proclaims June 2015 as California Innovation Month in  
          recognition of the innovation economy.  Specifically, this  
          resolution makes the following legislative findings:


          1)Innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit are woven into our  
            identity as Americans.  We are pioneers that always look  
            beyond to the next frontier.  From sending a man to the moon,  
            to leading the Internet revolution, the world has always  
            looked to America to lead into the future.

                                                                    Page  2






          2)Innovation is essential to achieving and maintaining economic  
            prosperity in this increasingly competitive world, and our  
            place as the most innovative nation on Earth cannot be taken  
            for granted; we must stay focused on promoting growth and  
            expanding opportunities for the next great idea.


          3)The next great medicine, energy source, or communication  
            platform is waiting to be discovered by the people of  
            California.  Our greatest asset, and the biggest driver of  
            California innovation, is California's people, and we need  
            laws that support and enable the people of California.


          FISCAL EFFECT:  None
