BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Nielsen
FEBRUARY 23, 2012
An act to amend Section 6100 of the Public Contract Code, relating
to public contracts.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2120, as introduced, Nielsen. Public contracts: contractors:
licensure.
Existing law requires state agencies and departments, prior to
awarding a contract for work to be performed by a contractor, to
verify that the person seeking the contract is licensed, as
specified.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 6100 of the Public Contract Code is amended to
read:
6100. (a) Any state agency or department, as defined in Section
10357, which 10335.7, that is subject
to this code, shall, prior to awarding a contract for work to be
performed by a contractor, as defined in Section 7026 of the Business
and Professions Code, verify with the Contractors' State License
Board that the person seeking the contract is licensed in a
classification appropriate to the work to be undertaken. Verification
as required by this section need only be made once every two years
with respect to the same contractor.
(b) In lieu of the verification, the state entity may require the
person seeking the contract to present his or her pocket license or
certificate of licensure and provide a signed statement which swears,
under penalty of perjury, that the pocket license or certificate of
licensure presented is his or hers, is current and valid, and is in a
classification appropriate to the work to be undertaken.
