expedited payment procedure.
   The State Contract Act prescribes the procedures and requirements

remedial measures from the procedures and requirements of the State
Contract Act, if the work is immediately necessary to protect the
health, safety, and welfare of the general public, as specified.
   This bill would require an expedited payment procedure for work
that is successfully performed for contracts made for specified
emergency toxic substances or remedial measures.
   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 10101 of the Public Contract Code is amended to
read:
   10101.  (a) Contracts for the purchase of supplies or materials,
which are purchased pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section
10290), are not subject to this chapter, even though the seller is
required to perform some incidental work or service in connection
with the delivery of the material or supplies.
   (b) Contracts for which emergency work or remedial measures are
required are not subject to this chapter if the work or remedial
measures are necessary to immediately avert, alleviate, repair, or
mitigate destruction of property caused by the accidental or
unplanned release of toxic substances and are necessary to protect
the health, safety, and welfare of the general public.  Work that
  is successfully performed pursuant to a contract under
this subdivision shall be paid pursuant to an expedited payment
procedure.
