	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senators Correa and Huff

                        JANUARY 29, 2014

   An act to add Section 13996.43 to the Government Code, relating to
economic development.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 928, as introduced, Correa. International trade office: Mexico.

   The Economic Revitalization Act establishes the Governor's Office
of Business and Economic Development, also known as "GO-Biz," to,
among other duties, serve the Governor as the lead entity for
economic strategy and the marketing of California on issues relating
to business development, private sector investment, and economic
growth. Existing law authorizes the director of GO-Biz to establish
and terminate international trade and investment offices outside of
the United States as he or she determines is appropriate, if specific
requirements are met.
   This bill would require the director to create a public-private
partnership to establish and operate an international trade office in
Mexico.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 13996.43 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   13996.43.  Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 13996.41,
the Director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic
Development shall create a public-private partnership to establish
and operate an international trade office in Mexico.
