LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2301, Lowenthal. State agencies: contracts.
Under existing law, 2 or more public agencies, by agreement, may exercise any power common to the contracting parties. Existing law also authorizes state agencies to enter into agreements to furnish services, materials, or equipment to, or perform work for, other state agencies upon the terms and conditions and for consideration as they may determine, and subject to approval of the Director of General Services.
This bill would authorize each state agency to contract with a joint powers authority to perform examinations and related services for the state agency with respect to the issuance of professional and vocational licenses, certifications, commissions, permits, or other similar accreditations, subject to approval of the Director of General Services pursuant to a specified provision of existing law or other approval as required by law. The bill would specifically authorize the Cooperative Personnel Services Joint Powers Authority to administer examinations and provide related services for state agencies, subject to the approval of the Director of General Services or other approval as required by law. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 11016.5 is added to the Government Code, to read:

11016.5.
 Each state agency may contract with a joint powers authority that is created pursuant to an agreement entered into pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1, to perform examinations and related services for the state agency with respect to the issuance of professional and vocational licenses, certifications, commissions, permits, or other similar accreditations, subject to the approval of the Director of General Services, or to other approval as required by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Cooperative Personnel Services Joint Powers Authority is hereby authorized to administer examinations and perform related services for state agencies with respect to the issuance of professional and vocational licenses, certifications, commissions, permits, or other similar accreditations, subject to the approval of the Director of General Services, or to other approval as required by law.

SEC. 2.

 Due to unique facts and circumstances applicable to the Cooperative Personnel Services Joint Powers Authority, the Legislature finds and declares that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution. Therefore, special legislation contained in Section 1 of this act is necessarily applicable only to the Cooperative Personnel Services Joint Powers Authority.

SEC. 3.

 This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order that state agencies may enter into contracts with a joint powers authority as authorized by this act at the earliest time possible and in order that those contracts may be implemented without delay, it is necessary for this act to take effect immediately.
