Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. The board of governors appoints the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges as the chief executive officer of the segment. Existing law establishes the California Online Community College, under the administration of the board of governors, for purposes of creating an organized system of accessible, flexible, and high-quality online content, courses, and programs focused on providing industry-valued credentials compatible with the vocational and educational needs of Californians who are not currently accessing higher education.

Existing law establishes the Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Fleet Purchasing Assistance Program in the State Air Resources Board's Air Quality Improvement Program and designates the California Pollution Control Financing Authority to administer the program to make financial tools and nonfinancial support available to operators of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets to enable those operators to transition their fleet to zero-emission vehicles. Existing law requires the authority to designate port and drayage truck fleets as one of the highest priority fleets that will have access to the program until a date determined by the state board. "Executive Order No. N-79-20" sets a goal of all drayage trucks operating in the state to be 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2035. This bill would require the state board to provide incentives for drayage trucks through existing programs, or to develop and implement the Zero-Emission Drayage Truck Financial Assistance Program, to assist entities serving the ports of the state to meet the above-stated goal by providing financial assistance to offset the cost for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks.

Existing law establishes within the office the California Business Investment Services Program under the authority of the director to serve employers, corporate executives, business owners, and site location consultants who are considering California for business investment and expansion. This bill would require the director to appoint a Supply Chain Senior Advisor within the office to be the principal advocate in the state for the interests of business and industry related to supply chain development and operation and to advise the director on legislation, administrative regulations, and other issues affecting the state's supply chain. The bill would also authorize the senior advisor, in consultation with the director, to establish and convene one or more advisory groups consisting of stakeholders in the state's supply chain. The bill would require the senior advisor to, among other things, collaborate with state agencies with similar duties and functions or that otherwise support or impact supply chains in the state and oversee and support the work of any advisory group established and convened pursuant to the bill's provisions. The bill would also require each state agency to furnish to the senior advisor reports, documents, and information that are public records and that the senior advisor deems necessary to carry out the advisor's duties and functions.
