RÉSUMÉ DIGEST ACT 200 (HB 323) 2021 Regular Session Gadberry Existing law specifies that state policy is to select providers of design professional services on the basis of competence and qualifications for a fair and reasonable price. Existing law prohibits the selection of design professional services where price or price- related information is a factor in the selection. Existing law declares that state policy is that all records regarding the selection of design professional services shall be open to the public in accordance with existing law regarding the right to examine public records. New law retains existing law but changes the applicability from providers of design services when selecting design professional services to architects, engineers, landscape architects, and land surveyors when selecting architectural and engineering professional services.
