LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1396, as introduced, Levine.
Skilled and trained workforce requirements.
Existing law establishes requirements that apply when a public entity is required by statute or regulation to obtain an enforceable commitment that a bidder, contractor, or other entity will use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project. Existing law also authorizes a public entity to require that a bidder, contractor, or other entity use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project, regardless of whether the public entity is required to do so by a statute or regulation.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
