          SOURCE:    California Association of Professional Scientists


          DIGEST:          This resolution declares May 18, 2016, as the 28th  
          Annual State Scientist Day, as a tribute to the dedication and  
          professionalism of the state scientists who work on behalf of  
          all the residents of California. 
          Assembly  
          Amendments add coauthors.


          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:









                                                                     SCR 99  
                                                                    Page  2



          1)The state employs nearly 3,000 professional scientists in over  
            30 state departments working in more than 81 scientific  
            classifications. 


          2)The work of state scientists protects the public from  
            life-threatening diseases, safeguards our wildlife and  
            abundant natural resources, and protects our air and water  
            from toxic waste and pollution. 


          3)State scientists host an annual State Scientist Day at the  
            State Capitol to increase public awareness and recognition of  
            the significant contributions made by scientists working in  
            state government.  The event has sparked an interest in  
            science for thousands of California schoolchildren,  
            legislators, state employees, and members of the public who  
            attend the special event.


          This resolution declares May 18, 2016, as the 28th Annual State  
          Scientist Day, as a tribute to the dedication and  
          professionalism of the state scientists who work on behalf of  
          all the residents of California.
