California Small Business Development Technical Assistance Expansion Act of 2018.
Summary
Existing law, until January 1, 2024, creates the California Small Business Development Technical Assistance Expansion Program within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) , under the Director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, for the purpose of assisting small businesses through free or low-cost one-on-one consulting and low-cost training by entering into grant agreements with one or more federal small business technical assistance centers, as defined. Existing law requires GO-Biz to make grants, upon appropriation of funds by the Legislature, to federal small business technical assistance centers that GO-Biz determines meet specified eligibility criteria. This bill would revise the definition of a federal small business technical assistance center to include a state trade expansion program as an eligible grant applicant.
