Summary

Existing law regarding contracting between state agencies and private contractors sets forth requirements for the procurement of materials, supplies, equipment, and services by state agencies. Existing law sets out the various responsibilities of the Department of General Services, and other state agencies, in overseeing and implementing state contracting procedures and policies. Existing law prohibits a state agency from entering into any contract with an expatriate corporation, as defined, or its subsidiary, unless certain conditions are met. Existing law defines an expatriate corporation as a foreign incorporated entity that is publicly traded in the United States and that meets specified criteria. This bill would revise the definition of an expatriate corporation, and would exclude as an expatriate corporation a foreign incorporated entity that is publicly traded in the United States that meets specified conditions, including, among others, that the foreign incorporated entity is created and organized under the laws of a foreign country with which the United States has a comprehensive income tax treaty and is considered a resident of that foreign country for purposes of that treaty or any successor treaty, and any successor corporation meeting specified requirements, as provided.
