BILL NUMBER: SB 1347INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Anderson FEBRUARY 21, 2014 An act to add Section 20103.9 to the Public Contract Code, relating to public contracts. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1347, as introduced, Anderson. Public contracts: local agencies. The Local Agency Public Construction Act establishes contracting by local agencies for the construction of public works. Existing law regulates the procedures by which a local agency awards public works contracts. This bill would require a local agency to timely post on its Internet Web site a copy of any final public works contract awarded at a cost of $5,000 or more. By imposing an additional duty upon local governments in the posting of local agency public works contracts, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 20103.9 is added to the Public Contract Code, to read: 20103.9. A local agency subject to this chapter that is taking bids for the construction of a public work or improvement costing five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more shall post, in a timely fashion, on the local agency's Internet Web site a copy of each final contract awarded. SEC. 2. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
