Summary

Existing law creates the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development to exercise various powers, including, among others, making recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature regarding policies, programs, and actions to advance statewide economic goals. Existing law establishes the Office of Small Business Advocate, within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, that is headed by the Director of the Office of Small Business Advocate who is also referred to as the Small Business Advocate. This bill would require the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, in consultation with the advocate, to establish a process for the ongoing review of existing regulations.

The bill would require the office to submit the results of its review, including its conclusions and recommendations, to the agency with jurisdiction over the reviewed regulations and to post the same information on its Internet Web site. The bill would also require the office to report to the Legislature and the Governor prior to January 1, 2021, and would repeal all of these requirements on January 1, 2021.
