Summary

Existing law defines the term "public works" for purposes of requirements regarding the payment of prevailing wages. Existing law generally defines "public works" to include construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of public funds. Existing law makes a willful violation of laws relating to the payment of prevailing wages on public works a misdemeanor. Existing law establishes the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) and requires the Public Utilities Commission to administer a program using moneys in the fund to encourage deployment of high-quality advanced communication services to all Californians by providing funding for infrastructure projects to provide broadband access to households that are unserved or underserved, as specified. This bill would revise the definition of "public works" to also include infrastructure project grants from the California Advanced Services Fund. The bill would specify that for purposes of this provision, the Public Utilities Commission is not the awarding body or body awarding the contract. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 1720 of the Labor Code, proposed by AB 26, to be operative only if AB 26 and this bill are both enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2015, and this bill is chaptered last. 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.
