LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 994, Muratsuchi.
Health care districts: design-build.
Existing law authorizes certain health care districts to use the design-build process when contracting for the construction of a building or improvements directly related to construction of a hospital or health facility building in those districts, as specified. Existing law sets forth the procurement process for design-build projects, as specified, and requires specified information submitted by design-build entities to be certified under penalty of perjury.
This bill would authorize, until January 1, 2023, the Beach Cities Health District to use the design-build process for the construction of facilities or other buildings in that district, as specified. Because the bill would expand the application of the procurement process to additional design-build
entities, the bill would expand the crime of perjury, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Beach Cities Health District.
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 no reimbursement is required by this act for
a specified reason.
