Assembly Bill No. 906
CHAPTER 744

An act to amend Section 19132 of the Government Code, relating to personal services contracts.

[ Approved by Governor  October 11, 2013. Filed with Secretary of State  October 11, 2013. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 906, Pan. Personal services contracts.
The State Civil Service Act authorizes state agencies to use personal services contracts if prescribed conditions are met. The act, with regard to personal services contracts permissible to achieve cost savings when certain conditions are met, requires the agency to notify the State Personnel Board of its intention to enter into such a contract and requires the board to contact all organizations that represent state employees who perform the type of work to be contracted. The act also makes personal services contracts permissible under other specified conditions, without regard to cost savings. The act requires the board, at the request of an employee organization that represents state employees, to review the adequacy of a proposed or executed personal services contract, as specified.
This bill would amend the act to prohibit the execution of those proposed personal services contracts permissible under specified conditions, without regard to cost savings, until the state agency proposing to execute the contract has notified all organizations that represent state employees who perform the type of work to be contracted. The bill would require the Department of General Services to establish a process to certify that notification.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

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


SECTION 1.

 Section 19132 of the Government Code is amended to read:

19132.
 (a) The State Personnel Board, at the request of an employee organization that represents state employees, shall review the adequacy of any proposed or executed contract that is of a type enumerated in subdivision (b) of Section 19130. The review shall be conducted in accordance with subdivision (c) of Section 10337 of the Public Contract Code. However, a contract that was reviewed at the request of an employee organization when it was proposed need not be reviewed again after its execution.
(b) (1) Unless a personal services contract pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 19130 is necessary due to a sudden and unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services, the contract shall not be executed until the state agency proposing to execute the contract has notified all organizations that represent state employees who perform the type of work to be contracted.
(2) At a minimum, the notice shall include a full copy of the proposed contract. The notifying agency may redact specific confidential or proprietary information from the notice.
(3) The Department of General Services shall establish a process to certify the notification in paragraph (1).
(4) The notification and certification of notice requirements of this subdivision do not change the requirements for contracts under Section 11045 or require an additional notification.
