Summary
Existing law requires the Department of General Services to approve certain contracts entered into by a state agency, including contracts for the construction, alteration, improvement, repair, or maintenance of a property, or for the performance of work or services by the state agency for, or in cooperation with, any person or public body. Existing law provides that the Department of General Services is not required to approve, among other things, any contract let by the Legislature. The bill would establish specified procedures for the Legislature in advertising for bids, accepting bids, and awarding contracts. The bill would require specified information to be verified under oath, thus imposing a state-mandated local program by expanding the scope of an existing crime. This bill also would instead provide that the Department of General Services is not required to approve any contract let by the Legislature that is deemed to be an emergency, as specified. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
