1-Amended IN Senate March 24, 2025 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20252026 REGULAR SESSION Senate Bill No. 598Introduced by Senator DurazoFebruary 20, 2025 An act to amend Section 56000 of the Government Code, relating to local government. add Chapter 4.9 (commencing with Section 22199.5) to Part 3 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code, relating to public contracts.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 598, as amended, Durazo. Local government. Public contracts: local water infrastructure projects: Construction Manager/General Contractor project delivery method.Existing law defines the Construction Manager/General Contractor project delivery method (CM/GC method) as a project delivery method in which a construction manager is procured to provide preconstruction services during the design phase of a project and construction services during the construction phase of the project. Under existing law, the method allows the contract for construction services to be entered into at the same time as the contract for preconstruction services or at a later time. Existing law authorizes the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to utilize the CM/GC method for regional recycled water projects or other water infrastructure projects under specified conditions. Pursuant to existing law, certain information required to be submitted as part of the CM/GC method is required to be verified under oath. Existing law makes the provisions described above pertaining to the CM/GC method effective only until January 1, 2028, and inoperative as of that date.This bill would, until January 1, 2031, authorize a local agency, as defined, upon approval of its governing body, to similarly use the CM/GC method for a regional recycled water project or other water infrastructure project undertaken by the district to alleviate water supply shortages attributable to drought or climate change. Because the bill would expand the crime of perjury, it 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Existing law, the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, provides the exclusive authority and procedure for the initiation, conduct, and completion of changes of organization and reorganization for cities and districts, except as specified.This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision naming the act.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NOYES Local Program: NOYES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. Chapter 4.9 (commencing with Section 22199.5) is added to Part 3 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code, to read: CHAPTER 4.9. Construction Manager/General Contractor Project Delivery Program22199.5.

The local agency shall follow the procedures described in Sections 21568.5 to 21568.10, inclusive, except that they shall not be required to complete the report described in subdivision (e) of Section 21568.5.(b) For purposes of this section, local agency means a city, county, city and county, or special district authorized by law to provide for the production, storage, supply, treatment, or distribution of any water from any source.(c) (1) The provisions of this chapter shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2031, and as of that date are inoperative.(2) A contract awarded pursuant to this chapter before it becomes inoperative, but after Sections 21568.5 to 21568.10, inclusive, become inoperative pursuant to Section 21568.11, shall continue in full force and effect until completion, including any subsequently executed changes to the contract, or termination.SEC. 2. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.SECTION 1.Section 56000 of the Government Code is amended to read:56000.This division shall be known, and may be cited, as the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000.
