LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 466, as amended, McCarty.  Department of General Services.   State civil service: employment procedures.   The State Civil Service Act requires employment forms used by a state agency to require a person applying for employment to disclose whether the person has entered into an agreement with the state regarding any previous employment with the state and that agreement prohibits that person from seeking or accepting any subsequent employment with the state.   This bill would specify that this provision shall not be deemed to require employment forms used by a state agency to require a person applying for employment to disclose whether the person has entered into an agreement that prohibits him or her from seeking or accepting employment with a particular state agency. This bill would also make nonsubstantive changes.   Existing law requires, by July 1, 2015, the Department of General Services to complete a long-range planning study of the state-controlled and owned office buildings in the County of Sacramento and the City of West Sacramento for the management of the state's space needs in the Sacramento region, as specified. Existing law requires the Director of General Services to issue one or more requests for proposals for the planning, design, construction, and acquisition of facilities recommended by the Legislature based on the planning study.   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:  SECTION 1.   Section 18720.45 of the   Government Code   is amended to read:  18720.45. Employment forms used by a state agency shall require a person applying for employment to disclose whether the person has entered into an agreement with the state regarding any previous employment with the state  and  that  agreement  prohibits  that person   him or her  from seeking or accepting  any   all  subsequent employment with the state.  This section shall not be deemed to require employment forms used by a state agency to require a person applying for employment to disclose whether the person has entered into an agreement that prohibits him or her from seeking or accepting employment with a particular state agency.   SECTION 1.   Section 14669.16 of the Government Code is amended to read: 14669.16. (a) The Department of General Services shall, by July 1, 2015, complete a long-range planning study of the state-controlled and owned office buildings in the County of Sacramento and the City of West Sacramento, including the Board of Equalization's headquarters, for the management of the state's space needs in the Sacramento region. (b) The planning study shall contain, but is not limited to, all of the following: (1) Evaluation of the overall state facility needs in the Sacramento region, including the capacity of currently owned and leased space. (2) Evaluation of each building including, but not limited to, condition, age, building use, and the extent that each building meets the business needs and location of the state entity occupying the space. (3) The impact the building's age and design has on potential reconfiguration and consolidation for state needs. (4) The viability of antiquated building infrastructure systems, including the present and probable future availability of replacement parts for the systems in the buildings. (5) Evaluation of office buildings in need of major repairs or renovations to correct deficiencies, including estimated costs for fire and life safety, accessibility, seismic safety, and other building code compliance issues, and known existence of encapsulated hazardous materials and lead-based paint. (6) Other considerations deemed appropriate by the Department of General Services, in consultation with the state entity occupying the building, may be included. (7) The development of a logical sequencing plan for renovation, replacement, or both, of existing state office buildings and new office development in the Sacramento region to guide the state over the next 25 years. (c) The findings in this long-range planning study shall be used as the basis for recommendations and developing detailed cost and scope information to be considered in future budget proposals. (d) Beginning with the three buildings with the most significant and immediate renovation or replacement needs, including highest cost of total maintenance and repair to usable space, and other related costs identified in the long-range planning study, the Director of General Services shall issue one or more requests for proposals for the planning, design, construction, and acquisition of facilities that have been recommended by the Legislature based on the planning study completed under this section. The Director of General Services shall issue the requests for proposals within 12 months of the Legislature making the recommendation described in this subdivision.
