LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2231, as introduced, Kalra.

Existing law defines locality in which public work is performed as the county in which the public work is done, in cases in which the state awards the contract, and as the limits of the political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is awarded, in other cases.This bill would eliminate this distinction in the definition of locality in which public work is performed and instead define the term in all cases as meaning the county in which the public work is done.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
