	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 653, Karnette.  Alameda Corridor Industrial Reclamation Act of
1999.
   Existing law sets forth the duties of the Trade and Commerce
Agency in overseeing economic and community development efforts in
the state.
   This bill would enact until January 1, 2002, the Alameda Corridor
Industrial Reclamation Act of 1999 to establish a program with the
same geographic boundaries as the Alameda Corridor Transportation
Authority's Job Training and Development Program, and to authorize
the Community Development Commission of Los Angeles County to
implement the program, at its option.  The program would develop and
implement a plan to foster re-industrialization of the Alameda
Corridor region.
   This bill would appropriate $135,000 from the General Fund to the
Trade and Commerce Agency for allocation to the commission for the
purposes of the bill, upon the provision of a 100% local match.
   Appropriation:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 15318 is added to the Government Code, to read:

Alameda Corridor Industrial Reclamation Act of 1999.
   (b) The Alameda Corridor Industrial Reclamation Program is hereby
established.
   (c) The Community Development Commission of Los Angeles County
shall, at its option, administer the program.  The geographic

   (d) The program shall utilize local experience and expertise to
develop and implement a plan to foster re-industrialization of the
Alameda Corridor region.  The strategies of the program shall
include, but need not be limited to, both of the following:
   (1) Improving workforce preparedness to meet the needs of a
changing manufacturing environment.
   (2) Retaining and expanding existing and attracting new
manufacturing facilities by identifying and reclaiming dysfunctional
real estate.
   (e) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2002, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2002, deletes or extends
that date.
  SEC. 2.  The sum of one hundred thirty-five thousand dollars
($135,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Trade
and Commerce Agency, to be allocated to the Community Development
Commission of Los Angeles County for the purposes of this act,
