   ACR 196, Steinorth. California Manufacturing Day.
   This measure would declare Friday, October 7, 2016, as California

   WHEREAS, The first Friday in October is designated as National
Manufacturing Day and was created as an opportunity to recognize and
celebrate the contributions of manufacturing in the United States;
and
   WHEREAS, On October 7, 2016, California will join the nation and
celebrate California Manufacturing Day, during which many of the
state's manufacturers will open their doors to the public to showcase
their operations and promote interest in the manufacturing sector as
a quality career; and
   WHEREAS, Also on that day, many California manufacturing training
facilities and community colleges will highlight their career
technical education classrooms, equipment, students, and instructors;
and
   WHEREAS, Many of the nation's most innovative, productive, and
energy efficient manufacturers have research labs, assembly plants,
and administration operations in California; and
   WHEREAS, California manufacturing represents 12 percent of the
national manufacturing gross domestic product (GDP) and 10 percent of
the national manufacturing job base; and
   WHEREAS, California's manufacturing sector is dynamic and diverse
and includes industries such as aerospace, beverages, building
materials, cement, consumer goods, energy and oil production, food
processing, glass, information technology, mining, plastics, paper,
pulp, and steel; and
   WHEREAS, California manufacturers employ more than 1.3 million
workers in the state with high-wage, middle-class jobs where the
average salary exceeds $77,000 annually; and
   WHEREAS, California manufacturers generate more than $250 billion
in annual economic activity that leads to tremendous multiplier
benefits throughout the economy; and
   WHEREAS, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and the Legislature
recognized the importance of attracting new manufacturing investments
to California in 2013 with the enactment of a partial sales and use
tax exemption for purchases of manufacturing equipment leading to
measurable job growth; and
   WHEREAS, Working together with educators and workforce development
partners, California manufacturers will continue to address the
middle skills job shortage to build the next generation of skilled
industrial employees equipped to respond to the demands of a global
economy; and
   WHEREAS, The nonpartisan nonprofit group Next 10 found in a report
titled "2015 California Green Innovation Index" that California's
economy is the second least carbon-intensive economy in the world and
produces 64 percent greater GDP for every unit of energy consumed
compared with the United States as a whole; and
   WHEREAS, California manufacturers continue to push the bounds of
clean and green technologies that reduce emissions and increase
energy efficiency in products and processes; and
   WHEREAS, California's clean and energy efficient manufacturing
industry maintains and supports the long-term overall health of the
state's economy and stands ready to help increase opportunities for
high-wage employment that will expand access to the middle class for
all Californians; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature declares Friday, October 7,
2016, as California Manufacturing Day; and be it further
