LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 956, Cortese.
School facilities: design-build contracts.
Existing law, until January 1, 2025, authorizes a school district, with the approval of the governing board of the school district, to procure design-build contracts for projects in excess of $1,000,000, awarding the contract to either the low bid or the best value, as provided. Existing law requires specified information to be certified under penalty of perjury, as provided.
This bill would delete the provision making this authorization inoperative on January 1, 2025, thereby extending it indefinitely. By extending the operation of provisions of law expanding a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish
procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
