          SUMMARY  :  Designates a specific portion of State Route (SR) 99  
          in Sutter County as the "California Small Business Owners'  
          Highway."  

           The Senate amendments  clarify the highway designation as  
          "California Small Business Owners' Highway".      
           
           EXISTING LAW  assigns Caltrans the responsibility of operating  
          and maintaining state highways.  This includes the installation  
          and maintenance of highway signs.  

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.  


           COMMENTS  :  As California continues to move forward after  
          experiencing a severe economic recession, the significant number  
          of small businesses within the state will play a critical role  
          in the state's economic recovery.  California's small businesses  
          provide a variety of imperative services, employ a significant  
          number of the state's population, and are the cornerstone in  
          many communities.  This bill designating a specific portion of  
          SR 99 in acknowledgment of California's small business owners  
          will highlight the significant role these employers play in the  
          state's economy and local communities.
