	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 829, Rubio. Public contracts: public entities: project labor
agreements.
   Existing law sets forth the requirements for the solicitation and
evaluation of bids and the awarding of contracts by public entities
and authorizes a public entity to use, enter into, or require
contractors to enter into, a project labor agreement for a
construction project if the agreement includes specified taxpayer
protection provisions. Existing law also provides that if a charter
provision, initiative, or ordinance of a charter city prohibits the
governing board's consideration of a project labor agreement for a
project to be awarded by the city, or prohibits the governing board
from considering whether to allocate funds to a city-funded project
covered by such an agreement, state funding or financial assistance
may not be used to support that project, as specified.
   This bill would additionally provide that if a charter provision,
initiative, or ordinance of a charter city prohibits, limits, or
constrains in any way the governing board's authority or discretion
to adopt, require, or utilize a project labor agreement that includes
specified taxpayer protection provisions for some or all of the
construction projects to be awarded by the city, state funding or
financial assistance may not be used to support any construction
projects awarded by the city, as specified.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2503 is added to the Public Contract Code, to
read:
   2503.  If a charter provision, initiative, or ordinance of a
charter city prohibits, limits, or constrains in any way the
governing board's authority or discretion to adopt, require, or
utilize a project labor agreement that includes all the taxpayer
protection provisions of Section 2500 for some or all of the
construction projects to be awarded by the city, then state funding
or financial assistance shall not be used to support any construction
projects awarded by the city. This section shall not be applicable
until January 1, 2015, for charter cities in which a charter
provision, initiative, or ordinance in effect prior to November 1,
2011, would disqualify a construction project from receiving state
funding or financial assistance.
