          DIGEST:  This resolution recognizes the Lunar New Year  
          Celebration.


          ANALYSIS:  This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1.February 19, 2015, will mark the beginning of the Lunar New  
            Year, which is celebrated in many Asian communities around the  
            world, including the United States, and especially California.

          2.The Lunar New Year is predominantly celebrated by the 1.7  
            million Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese residents of  
            California.

          3.The Lunar New Year is the Year of the Goat and is universally  
            celebrated by these communities as a time to feast, to renew  
            family ties, and to start the new year with a clean slate.

          4.The celebration of the Lunar New Year in communities  
            throughout California illustrates the state's rich cultural  
            history and commitment to racial, religious, and cultural  
            diversity.
