Explanation
The bill subjects quasi-public agencies to certain oversight by the
State Contracting Standards Board (SCSB). Generally, it applies to
quasi-public agencies provisions in existing law that allow SCSB to
limit state contracting agencies’ authority to enter into contracts or
procurement agreements. The SCSB would need to fill its unfunded
vacant Chief Procurement Officer position to handle the bill's
requirements. The salary for this position is approximately $130,000.
Please note that the SCSB is located within the Office of
Governmental Accountability.
