          DIGEST:          This resolution recognizes the Lunar New Year  
          Celebration.
          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)February 8, 2016, 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)This Lunar New Year is the Year of the Fire Monkey and is  
            universally celebrated by these communities as a time to renew  
            family ties, and to start the new year with a clean slate.

          3)The Lunar New Year is predominantly celebrated by over 2.5  
            million Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese residents of  
            California.

          This resolution recognizes the Lunar New Year Celebration; joins  
          Asian and Pacific Islander communities throughout the state in  
          celebrating February 8, 2016, as the beginning of the Lunar New  
          Year, the Year of the Fire Monkey; and extends best wishes for a  
          peaceful and prosperous Lunar New Year to all Californians.
