INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Linder

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, relating
to public contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1353, as introduced, Linder. Public contracts.
   The Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act requires an
officer, department, board, or commission taking bids for the
construction of any public work or improvement to provide in the
specifications prepared for the work or improvement, or in the
general conditions under which bids will be received, that any person
making a bid or offer to perform the work, in his or her bid or
offer, set forth the name and the location of the place of business
of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render
service to the prime contractor in or about the construction of the
work or improvement, or a subcontractor licensed by the State of
California who, under subcontract to the prime contractor, specially
fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement, as
specified.
   This bill would instead require that those specifications provide
that any person making a bid or offer to perform the work, in his or
her bid or offer, set forth each subcontractor required to be
licensed by the Contractors' State License Board who will perform
work or labor or render service to the prime contractor in or about
the construction of the work or improvement, or who will, under
subcontract to the prime contractor, specially fabricate and install
a portion of the work or improvement, as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
