Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development: duties.

Existing law, the Economic Revitalization Act, establishes the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, also known as GO-Biz, under the control of a director who is responsible to the Governor. Existing law requires GO-Biz to serve the Governor as the lead entity for economic strategy and authorizes it to undertake specified activities, including marketing business and investment opportunities in California by working in partnership with local, regional, federal, and other state public and private institutions to encourage business development and investment. Existing law, the California Tourism Marketing Act, authorizes the Office of Tourism within GO-Biz to establish the California Travel and Tourism Commission, a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation, for the purpose of promoting tourism in California, and sets forth its powers and duties and the procedure for appointing its members. This bill would require GO-Biz to work in partnership with the California Travel and Tourism Commission to develop a plan to market the business and investment opportunities available in California to encourage business development and investment in this state.
