Summary

Existing law, the California High-Speed Rail Act, creates the High-Speed Rail Authority to develop and implement a high-speed rail system in the state, with specified powers and duties. Existing law, the Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century, provides for the issuance of $9.95 billion in general obligation bonds for high-speed rail and related purposes. Under federal law, funding is made available for allocation nationally to high-speed rail and other related projects. This bill would require the authority, in awarding contracts for the construction of the high-speed rail system, to require that a minimum of 25% of the workforce used at each worksite be from the local workforce, as defined, and that a minimum of 25% of the aggregate dollar amount of contracts awarded be subject to project labor agreements, as defined. The bill would also require the authority to post on its Internet Web site, by January 31 of each year, the percentages it achieved in compliance with those requirements.
