California Senator Josh Becker will chair the newly formed Senate Select Committee on Economic Development and Technological Innovation, tasked with bolstering the state’s edge in advanced industries and tech‑enabled governance.  The committee’s goal is to review policies and case studies to craft recommendations that help retain cutting‑edge companies, attract high‑quality jobs, and modernize public services statewide. “For California to stay at the forefront of innovation and economic opportunity, we must ensure we’re creating the right environment for businesses to grow and thrive,” said Senator Becker. “This select committee will allow us to take a deeper look at what’s working — and what’s not — when it comes to retaining cutting-edge companies, attracting high-quality jobs, and building a more responsive, tech-enabled government.”
