INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Lackey

                        FEBRUARY 10, 2016

   An act to amend Section 10220 of the Public Contract Code,
relating to public contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1852, as introduced, Lackey. State contracts: contract
requirements.
   The State Contracting Act governs state contracts for public works
projects and requires that a contract be rewarded to the lowest
responsible bidder, as specified. This act requires contracts awarded
by state agencies to be submitted to the Attorney General or the
appointed attorney as specified, and provides that the contract is
not binding on the state until the attorney finds it to be in
accordance with the act.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 10220 of the Public Contract Code is amended to
read:
   10220.  Every contract awarded under this part shall be submitted
to the Attorney General or the attorney appointed according to law
and authorized to represent the department under which it is to be
performed.  Such a   That  contract is not
binding on the state until the appropriate attorney finds it to be in
accordance with the requirements of this chapter, and endorses
 such   that  finding thereon.
   A certified copy of each contract shall be filed with the
Controller, but the failure so to file does not invalidate it.
