	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 192, as amended, Gordon. California Nonprofits Day.
   This measure would designate June 22, 2016, as California
Nonprofits Day and recognize the importance of nonprofit
organizations to the economy and well-being of this state.
   Fiscal committee: no.



   WHEREAS, Nonprofit organizations are a large and vital part of
California's economy, with nonprofit economic activity contributing
15 percent, or one-sixth, of California's gross state product; and
   WHEREAS, Nonprofit organizations rank as the fourth largest
industry in California by employment, with nearly one million people
employed by nonprofits, accounting for 1 in every 16 California jobs;
and
   WHEREAS, Each year nonprofit organizations bring in at least $40
billion in revenue to California from out-of-state sources; and
   WHEREAS, California nonprofit organizations employ greater
percentages of women and people of color than the overall civilian
workforce; and
   WHEREAS, California nonprofit organizations are trusted
institutions that exist to provide services to the needy and
vulnerable, improve quality of life, express community values, and
promote social change; and
   WHEREAS, The nonprofit organization community in California is a
strong economic power that uses that power for the common good; and
   WHEREAS, California's nonprofit organizations are national and
international groundbreakers and leaders in the environment, in
science, in safety net innovations, in civil rights, in the arts and
humanities, and in the pursuit of democratic ideals; now, therefore,
be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature, in recognition of the
importance of nonprofit organizations to the economy and well-being
of this state, declares June 22, 2016, as California Nonprofits Day;
and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
