SACRAMENTO – A far-reaching bill, authored by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks), aimed at creating jobs and helping to reverse the recent decline of successful start-up companies in California, has been passed by the Legislature and now awaits Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature to become law. Assembly Bill 2664 provides $22 million to the University of California system that will help convert research and science done at the UCs to products that benefit society. The California Chamber of Commerce has labeled this bill as a “job creator.”
