BILL NUMBER: AB 2494	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Blumenfield

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to add Section 19135 to the Government Code, relating to
personal services contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2494, as introduced, Blumenfield. Personal services contracts.
   Existing law authorizes state agencies to use personal services
contracts if specified standards are satisfied, including, among
other things, the contract does not cause the displacement of civil
service employees and the contract is awarded through a publicized,
competitive bidding process. The State Personnel Board is required to
review a proposed contract upon the request of an employee
organization for compliance with those standards.
   This bill would require a state agency to immediately discontinue
a contract disapproved by action of the board or its delegate unless
ordered otherwise by the board. The bill would prohibit the state
agency from circumventing or disregarding the board's action by
entering another contract for the same or similar services or to
continue the services that were the subject of the contract that was
disapproved.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 19135 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   19135.  If a contract is disapproved by action of the board or its
delegate, a state agency shall immediately discontinue that contract
unless ordered otherwise by the board. The state agency shall not
circumvent or disregard the board's action by entering into another
contract for the same or similar services or to continue the services
that were the subject of the contract disapproved by the board.
