AI Summary
This concurrent resolution declares May as California Small Business Month, recognizing the critical role small businesses play in the state's economy and communities. The resolution highlights that California is home to over 4.1 million small businesses, which represent more than 99 percent of all businesses in the state and employ approximately 7.5 million workers, nearly half of the private workforce. It emphasizes the significant contributions of these businesses, including their resilience during challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, their economic impact of generating over $414 billion annually, and their diversity, with 47 percent owned by individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. The resolution celebrates small businesses as drivers of innovation, job creation, and local economic development, and formally acknowledges their importance by designating a month to recognize their contributions. Additionally, the resolution directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of the resolution, symbolically commemorating the significance of small businesses in California's economic landscape.
