SUMMARY: Proclaims the month of June as California Technology
and Innovation Month. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)Technology, 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.

2)Innovation and technology are 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.
4)California leads the nation with nearly 1.1 million tech
industry jobs and for each job created in the tech sector,
approximately 4.3 jobs are created in other local goods and
services sectors across all income groups, including lawyers,
dentists, schoolteachers, cooks, and retail clerks, among many
others. In California, industry and communication technology
related businesses produce $172 billion in revenue.
