Summary

Existing law prohibits specified state and local officers and employees from being financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any board or body of which they are members; however, an officer or employee is not deemed to be interested in a contract if his or her interest meets specified criteria. This bill would provide that an independent contractor shall not be deemed to be interested in a contract as a result of the independent contractor's preparation, at the request of a governmental entity, of a document that serves a purpose independent of the contract or other specified documents.
