Relative to California Innovation Week.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
HOUSE OR SENATE RESOLUTIONS DO NOT CONTAIN A DIGEST
WHEREAS, Innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit are woven into
our identity as Americans. We are the pioneers that always look
beyond to the next frontier. From sending a man to the moon, to
leading the Internet revolution, the world has always looked to
America to lead into the future. And time and again, we have
delivered that and much more; and
WHEREAS, American-born advancements have shaped every aspect of
our modern world. Our smartphones, which evolve daily, have enabled
instant global communication and a more robust exchange of ideas and
knowledge. Our children and grandchildren have the chance for longer
and healthier lives because of breakthroughs in medical technologies
and drug treatments. Cutting-edge processes have turned the United
States into a leader in energy production, while better data and
advanced weather warning systems hold the promise of saving lives
from natural disasters; and
WHEREAS, The truth is, the next great medicine, energy source, or
communication platform won't be stamped "Made in Sacramento" on the
bottom. Our greatest asset and the biggest driver of California
innovation is California's people, and we need laws that support and
enable the people of California, instead of regulations that hold
them back; and
WHEREAS, Innovation is essential to achieving and maintaining
economic prosperity in this increasingly competitive world, and our
place as the most innovative nation on Earth cannot be taken for
granted. We must stay focused on promoting growth and expanding
opportunities for the next great idea; and
WHEREAS, Communities throughout California should commemorate May
18th through 22nd, 2015, as California Innovation Week, a week
celebrating the innovation industry and the entrepreneurial spirit;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That in
recognition of the innovation economy, the week of May 18, 2015, to
May 22, 2015, inclusive, shall be proclaimed California Innovation
Week, a special time for Californians to celebrate this ever-growing
industry that is changing the way we view communicating, health care,
transportation, energy, travel, business, and much more; and be it
further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
