	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 432, Mendoza. Public works: aliens.
   Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires the payment of not
less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, for work of
a similar character in the locality in which a public works project
is performed, to all workers employed on a public works project. With
respect to the extension of public works, existing law extends
preference for employment first to California citizens, next to
citizens of other states who are in California at the time of
application, and next to aliens who are in California at the time of
application. Existing law defines "alien" as any person who is not a
born or fully naturalized citizen of the United States.
   Under existing law, the Department of Finance is required to
ascertain and secure from state agencies tentative plans for the
extension of public works that are best adapted to supply increased
opportunities for advantageous public labor during periods of
temporary unemployment in the state. These employment opportunities
are available according to the hiring preferences described above.
   This bill would repeal this definition of "alien" and the
provision requiring those preferences to be applied to the extension
of public works employment during periods of unemployment in the
state.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 1725 of the Labor Code is repealed.
  SEC. 2.  Section 2015 of the Labor Code is repealed.
