LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1347, as amended, Anderson. Public contracts:  local agencies.   school districts.  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   school district  awards public works contracts. This bill would require a  local agency to timely post on   school district, at the next regular update of  its Internet Web  site   site, to post on that 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   school districts  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.
