          DIGEST:  This resolution states the Senate commits to the  
          National Conference of Governors of Mexico to establish a  
          mechanism for permanent dialogue between the Senate and National  
          Conference of Governors of Mexico to exchange information on  
          legislative initiatives that benefit the migrant community in  
          California and the families of migrants in Mexico.

          ANALYSIS:  This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1)On July 20, 2015, Senator Kevin de León, in his position of  
            President Pro Tempore of the Senate, signed a letter of intent  
            with Dr. Eruviel Avila, Governor of the State of Mexico and  
            President of the National Conference of Governors of Mexico  
            (CONAGO), setting forth their mutual intent to establish a  
            permanent dialogue between the Senate and leaders in the  
            government of Mexico.

          2)The government of California and its leaders have devoted much  
            effort to encourage the state's relationship with the

                                                                     Page  2



            government of Mexico given their shared border and the  
            millions of individuals of Mexican origin living in  
            California.

          3)The Senate has approved laws that promote respect for human  
            rights and the integrity of the individual, worked towards a  
            more inclusive social integration, and recognized the  
            contributions of immigrants to the state.

          This resolution states:

          1)That the Senate commits to CONAGO to establish a mechanism for  
            permanent dialogue between the Senate and National Conference  
            of Governors of Mexico to exchange information on legislative  
            initiatives that benefit the migrant community in California  
            and the families of migrants in Mexico.

          2)That the Senate commits to CONAGO to enhance communication  
            with other actors in the public and private sectors in all  
            entities and institutions involved, with the purpose to  
            establish programs of cooperation around a common agenda, with  
            topics such as education, trade, tourism, and environment.

          3)That the President Pro Tempore of the Senate may select the  
            Senators who will cooperate with CONAGO to achieve the goals  
            set forth in this resolution.
