Vote: 2/3   Appropriation: YES   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) In October 2010, Congress passed and the President signed the Small Business Jobs Act. Among other things, the act created the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), which allowed expenditures up to $1.5 billion for state sponsored small business finance programs. California utilized its federal small business grant money to capitalize the Small Business Loan Guarantee Program at the I-Bank's Small Business Finance Center, and the California Capital Access Program (CalCAP) loan loss reserve program and a collateral support program administered through the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA). to strengthen state programs that support financing of small businesses.

(b)In February 2011, the California Pollution Control Financing Authority was awarded approximately eighty-four million dollars ($84,000,000) pursuant to the State Small Business Credit Initiative (Chapter 54 (commencing with Section 5701) of Title 12 of the United States Code) for use by the authority in its California Capital Access Program for Small Businesses and the California Capital Access Collateral Support program.

(b) In April 2011, California entered into an allocation agreement with the United States Treasury for approximately one hundred and sixty-eight million dollars ($168,000,000) pursuant to the State Small Business Credit Initiative (Chapter 54 (commencing with Section 5701) of Title 12 of the United States Code). The federal funds were divided evenly between the administering entities for two state credit enhancement programs with eighty-four million dollars ($84,000,000) being allocated to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA) to establish a federally funded component to the California Capital Access Program (CalCAP) loan loss reserve program and the other half of the state allocation being allocated to the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency to support a federally funded component of the Small Business Loan Guarantee Program.
(c) On April 25, 2017, the Treasurer’s office alerted the public and interested stakeholders that the federal moneys allocated to California to support the California Capital Access Loan Program (CalCAP) for Small Business were near exhaustion. In addition, the notice stated that when the federal moneys are exhausted, the authority will continue to review and approve pending loan applications. For those which are approved, CPCFA will make contributions from the balance remaining from the 2010 General Fund appropriation under the Assembly Bill 1632 of the 2009–10 Regular Session for deposit into each lender’s CalCAP State Loan Loss Reserve Account.
(d) Finally, the notice stated that the authority staff “projects that the balance of the General Fund appropriation will support all current loan enrollment applications in the CPCFA’s possession. However, we also anticipate that these State program funds will be exhausted in the Summer 2017, at which point the CPCFA will no longer be able to enroll loans in the CalCAP for Small Business Program.”
(e) Although the authority has adopted regulations to recapture some funds it has previously contributed to CalCAP for use in the Small Business CalCAP, there remains a significant risk that the authority may elect to permanently modify the California Capital Access Loan Program for Small Businesses to focus more intently on lending programs for pollution control financing projects, a change in direction that would be more consistent with its namesake and its enabling statutes. Earlier in this session of the Legislature, the authority took action consistent with this apparent plan by amending Assembly Bill 964 (Calderon), a bill that is sponsored by the authority. On May 30, 2017, Assembly Bill 964 was amended in the Senate, to remove “for Small Businesses” from the title of the Capital Access Loan Program to read “Capital Access Loan Program.”
(f) Without direction from the Legislature, a distinct possibility exists that federal funds that were allocated for the purpose of assisting small businesses might be redirected to support programs separate and apart from small business assistance, which runs counter to the intent set forth in the federal Small Business Jobs Act of 2010.
(g) In 2013, years after funding was distributed in California from the State Small Business Credit Initiative, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 1247 (Medina and Bocanegra) of the 2013–14 Regular Session, which created the Small Business Finance Center (SBFC) at the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank. The SBFC helps businesses create and retain jobs, and encourages investment in low- to moderate-income communities. The finance center operates a Small Business Loan Guarantee Program, and provides technical assistance to small businesses and microbusinesses. In 2017, the SBFC created the Jump Start Loan Program which provides direct loans from $500 to $10,000 to small businesses in low-wealth communities.
(h) The SBFC and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank are organized within the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), which was created in 2012 to serve as California’s single point of contact for economic development and job creation efforts.
(i) (1) The Legislature declares that it is appropriate, as program funding expires, or that the funds have been fully disbursed, expended or allocated, that the portfolio of the Capital Access Loan Program for Small Businesses and the portfolio of the Collateral Support program be transferred from the CPCFA to the California Small Business Finance Center within the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank.
(2) The Legislature declares that all federal and state funds, the source of which was the federal Small Business Jobs Act or the 2010 General Fund appropriation under Assembly Bill 1632 of the 2009–10 Regular Session (Chapter 731 of the Statutes of 2010) including funds that have been returned to or recaptured by the CPCFA and currently under its control, be transferred to the Capital Access Reserve Fund California Small Business Expansion Fund. and be under the administrative control of the California Small Business Finance Center at the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank.

(3)It is intent the Legislature that nothing in this act impede the ability of the CPCFA to operate the California Capital Access Program with other program funds, as well as administering the California Americans with Disabilities Small Business Capital Access Loan Program established in Section 44559.13 of the Health and Safety Code and the California Seismic Safety Capital Access Loan Program established in Section 44559.14 of the Health and Safety Code.

(3) The Legislature declares that while originally CalCAP included only one program, over the years other programs were added to CalCAP, including the California Air Resources Board On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program and Electric Vehicle Charging Station Financing Program separately funded by the State Air Resources Board; the California Americans with Disabilities Act Small Business Capitol Access Loan Program established in Section 44559.13 of the Health and Safety Code and funded with ten million dollars ($10,000,000) from the General Fund; and the California Seismic Safety Capitol Access Loan Program established in Section 44559.14 of the Health and Safety Code and funded with ten million dollars ($10,000,000) from the General Fund. It is the intent the Legislature that nothing in this act impede the ability of the CPCFA to operate those and other programs.
