Summary

Existing law establishes statewide participation goals that apply to the overall dollar amount expended each year by an awarding department, as defined, to facilitate the participation of disabled veteran business enterprises in state contracts, and establishes the California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Program for this purpose. Existing law requires the Department of General Services to make available a report on contracting activity containing specified information, including a statistical summary detailing each awarding department's goal achievement under the California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Program and a statewide total of those goals. This bill would specify that an awarding department's goal achievement under the California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Program, and statewide total of those goals, be measured as specified. The bill would also make a legislative finding that this bill is clarifying and declaratory of existing law. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 10111 of the Public Contract Code proposed by SB 1219 that would become operative if this bill and SB 1219 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
