	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 681, Hernandez. Community college districts: personal property.

   Existing law permits the governing board of any community college
district without advertising for bids, and when that board has
determined it to be in the best interests of the district, to
authorize by contract, lease, requisition, or purchase order, any
public corporation or agency, as specified, to lease data-processing
equipment, purchase materials, supplies, equipment, automotive
vehicles, tractors, and other personal property, as specified.
   This bill would also permit a community college district to
authorize the lease or purchase of personal property directly from a
vendor by contract, lease, requisition, or purchase order and make
payment to the vendor on the same terms as provided in an existing
contract between a public corporation or agency and the vendor for
the lease or purchase of the personal property.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 20652 of the Public Contract Code is amended to
read:
   20652.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of Sections 81640 to
81654, inclusive, of the Education Code, or of Sections 20651 to
20659, inclusive, of this code, the governing board of any community
college district without advertising for bids, and when that board
has determined it to be in the best interests of the district, may
authorize by contract, lease, requisition, or purchase order, any
public corporation or agency, including any county, city, town, or
district, to lease data-processing equipment, purchase materials,
supplies, equipment, automotive vehicles, tractors, and other
personal property for the district in the manner in which the public
corporation or agency is authorized by law to make the leases or
purchases. Upon receipt of any such personal property, provided the
property complies with the specifications set forth in the contract,
lease, requisition, or purchase order, the community college district
may draw a warrant in favor of the public corporation or agency for
the amount of the approved invoice, including the reasonable costs to
the public corporation or agency for furnishing the services
incidental to the lease or purchase of the personal property.
Alternatively, if there is an existing contract between a public
corporation or agency and a vendor for the lease or purchase of the
personal property, a community college district may authorize the
lease or purchase of the personal property directly from the vendor
by contract, lease, requisition, or purchase order and make payment
to the vendor under the same terms that are available to the public
corporation or agency under the contract.
