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

to be known as the "California Jobs Act of 2010" to address the
following:
(a) California has a significant role in both the national and
international economy.
(b) The Legislature has serious concern about the high
unemployment rate in California and how that adversely impacts
individuals and their families.
(c) The Legislature recognizes that the United States is in a
national economic crisis and that there is a need to explore,
identify, analyze, and implement policies and programs that will
create jobs and put thousands of Californians back to work.
SEC. 2. It is the intent of the Legislature to request that the
Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development report to the
Legislature on the Labor and Workforce Development Agency's efforts
to increase the number of employed California residents, including
coordinating with the United States Department of Labor to maximize
funding for workforce training and development. The report should
also identify job creation opportunities in the areas of small
business, infrastructure, the clean-green economy, and tax policy.
