LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1036, as amended, Eduardo Garcia. California Manufacturing Emergency Preparedness Act of 2021.
Existing law, the Bergeson-Peace Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Act, establishes the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (I-Bank). Among other things, the act authorizes I-Bank to make loans, issue bonds, and provide financial assistance to economic development or public development facilities.
Existing law establishes the Disaster Assistance Fund and continuously appropriates the fund for these purposes. Existing law provides that when funds are available for these purposes, the Governor may allocate the funds, in connection with relief provided, in affected areas during the period of federal disaster relief, to the Small Business Expansion Fund for use by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (I-Bank), to provide guarantees for low-interest interim loans to be made by lending institutions for the purpose of providing interim financing to enable small businesses that have suffered actual physical damage or significant economic losses, as a result of the disaster or state of emergency for which funding is made available.
This bill would enact the California Manufacturing Emergency Preparedness Act of 2021, which would authorize I-Bank to establish the California Manufacturing Disaster Loan Program (disaster program) for the purpose of attracting, retaining, retooling, establishing, and expanding manufacturing and logistics capacity in the state, and would require I-Bank to establish guidelines for the implementation and oversight of the program. the bill would prohibit I-Bank from commencing the disaster program until it adopts a resolution finding that there is sufficient funding in the California Manufacturing Disaster Loan Program Subaccount to cover the costs of implementing the program and that the I-Bank has sufficient direction from the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, as provided.
This bill would also authorize I-Bank to establish the California Manufacturing Competitiveness Loan Program (competitiveness program) for the purpose of attracting, retaining, and expanding manufacturing facilities and other companies in the state. The bill would prohibit the commencement of the competitiveness program unless there is sufficient money in the California Manufacturing Competitiveness Loan Program Subaccount, as specified.
This bill would establish the Manufacturing Program Account within the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Fund, a California Manufacturing Disaster Loan Program Subaccount (disaster subaccount), and a California Manufacturing Competitiveness Loan Program Subaccount (competitiveness subaccount) within that account. The bill would create the competitiveness subaccount for purposes of providing direct loans issued pursuant to the competitiveness program, as provided.
This bill would authorize the Governor to allocate disaster relief funds, including funds in the Disaster Assistance Fund, to the disaster subaccount for use by I-Bank, to cover the costs of administering the disaster program and to provide direct loans made by lending institutions, and to forgive those loans in appropriate circumstances, for the purpose of providing financing to enable the manufacturing and logistics sectors to support the emergency needs of Californians.
This bill would provide that the moneys in the disaster subaccount be made available to I-Bank, upon a transfer of funds by the Director of Finance pursuant to an allocation by the Governor under the California Disaster Assistance Act, for specified purposes. The bill would authorize moneys in the Manufacturing Program Account to be allocated to a lending institution or financial company to act as trustee of the funds, with the approval of the Department of Finance. The bill would authorize I-Bank to create additional subaccounts in the account for specified purposes.
Because this bill would expand the purposes for which a continuously appropriated fund is expended and would deposit moneys and fees into a new, continuously appropriated account, the bill would make an appropriation.
This bill would require I-Bank to annually report, commencing with January 1, 2023, to the Governor and the Legislature on program activity, as specified, in any fiscal year that the program receives funding or has active loans.
This bill would further provide that specified provisions of the bill would be implemented only to the extent that sufficient moneys are available to I-Bank to implement the disaster or competitiveness program. The bill would permit these provisions to be used to respond to, and recover from, the conditions arising from the state of emergency declared by the Governor on March 4, 2020, related to the COVID-19 virus. The bill would prohibit I-Bank from entering into loans or lines of credit pursuant to the bill on or after January 1, 2030.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

SECTION 1.

 Section 8684.3 is added to the Government Code, immediately following Section 8684.2, to read:

8684.3.
 (a) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide the Governor with appropriate emergency powers to address the manufacturing production and distribution needs of the state to protect the health and safety of Californians.
(2) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Governor utilize the authority provided by this section to provide direct loans, and to forgive those loans in appropriate circumstances, for purposes of addressing the financial requirements of businesses when retooling, repurposing, and expanding production and distributing products necessary to prevent shortages of essential goods.
(b) In addition to the allocations authorized in Section 8683, the Governor may allocate, to the extent the funds are authorized to be transferred, funds made available for the purposes of this chapter, in connection with relief provided, for the benefit of affected areas and in affected areas during the period of federal disaster relief, to the California Manufacturing Disaster Loan Program Subaccount in the Manufacturing Program Account established pursuant to Section 63047.54 for use by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank pursuant to Article 5.5 (commencing with Section 63047.5) of Chapter 2 of Division 1 of Title 6.7. Funds allocated to the California Manufacturing Disaster Loan Program Subaccount in the Manufacturing Program Account pursuant to this section shall be used to cover costs related to the administration of the California Manufacturing Disaster Loan Program under Article 5.5 (commencing with Section 63047.5) of Chapter 2 of Division 1 of Title 6.7 and to provide direct loans made by lending institutions, and to forgive those loans in appropriate circumstances, for the purpose of providing financing to enable the manufacturing and logistics sectors to support the emergency needs of Californians.

SEC. 2.

 Article 5.5 (commencing with Section 63047.5) is added to Chapter 2 of Division 1 of Title 6.7 of the Government Code, to read:
Article  5.5. California Manufacturing Emergency Preparedness Act of 2021. 2021

63047.5.
 This article shall be known, and may be cited, as the California Manufacturing Emergency Preparedness Act of 2021.

63047.51.
 The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) California is one of the largest and most diverse economies in the world, with a state gross domestic product of $3.1 trillion in 2019. Based on figures from the Department of Finance, if California were an independent nation it would rank as the fifth largest economy in the world.
(b) Historically, the state’s significance in the global marketplace has resulted from a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
(1) Its strategic west coast location that provides direct access to the growing markets in Asia Asia.
(2) Its economically diverse regional economies and its large, ethnically diverse population, representing both a ready workforce and significant consumer base.
(3) Its access to a wide variety of venture and other private capital.
(4) Its broad base of small- and medium-sized businesses that support the global manufacturing supply chain.
(5) Its culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, particularly in the area of high technology.
(c) Historically, economic growth in California has outpaced the economic growth rate of the nation as a whole, and the state has led the nation in export-related jobs, business startups, and innovation. California leads the nation in the number of manufacturers.
(d) California’s manufacturing sector, however, faces many challenges in maintaining global and domestic disaster preparedness, accessing a qualified workforce, and updating equipment and processes to meet domestic production needs during and following a declared state of emergency.
(e) A robust manufacturing sector offers many benefits to the state, including high-wage jobs, a basis for international trade, and one of the highest multiplier effects on other industries and businesses. It has been estimated that for every job created in manufacturing, 2.5 jobs are supported in other industry sectors. For instance, in the electronic computer manufacturing industry, that multiplier effect is 16 to 1.
(f) As California faces the coronavirus emergency, its ability to protect the health and safety of its people has been impeded by the lack of access to certain essential manufactured products, including, but not limited to, personal protection equipment and ventilators. The current lack of domestic production and the need to pivot existing manufacturers to new and expanded lines of production requires the state to develop finance programs in advance of disasters so they can be activated once a state of emergency is declared.
(g) It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to strengthen the manufacturing capacity of California through the enactment and implementation of this article, to provide the framework and focus to retool and expand California’s manufacturing facilities, support a vibrant logistics network, and retain and create more quality jobs.
(h) Loan forgiveness provided through this article produces two statewide benefits to the public by, first, supporting the state’s manufacturing capacity to produce essential and scarce goods and, second, by supporting struggling businesses and their employees in the manufacturing sector that, in turn, support the state’s emergency response and recovery efforts.
(i) It is therefore also the intent of the Legislature that the bank have the authority to forgive any loan provided through this article if forgiveness of the loan furthers the purposes of the program.
