Assembly Bill

No. 1223

Introduced by Assembly Member Caballero

February 17, 2017

An act to add Sections 10261.7 and 20104.60 to the Public Contracts Code, relating to public contracts.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1223, as introduced, Caballero. Construction contract payments: Internet Web site posting.

Existing law imposes specified requirements on state and local agencies regarding payment of construction contracts.

This bill would require, within 10 days of making a construction contract payment, a state or local agency to post to its Internet Web site the names of each construction contractor paid and the date and amount of the payment.

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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
