	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 829, as amended, Rubio. Public contracts: public entities:
project labor agreements.
   Existing law sets forth the requirements for the solicitation and
evaluation of bids and the awarding of contracts by public entities
and authorizes a public entity to use, enter into, or require
contractors to enter into, a project labor agreement for a
construction project, if the agreement includes specified taxpayer
protection provisions. Existing law also provides that if a charter
provision, initiative, or ordinance of a charter city prohibits the
governing board's consideration of a project labor agreement for a
project to be awarded by the city, or prohibits the governing board
from considering whether to allocate funds to a city-funded project
covered by such an agreement, then state funding or financial
assistance may not be used to support that project, as specified.
   This bill would additionally provide that if a charter provision,
initiative, or ordinance of a charter city  prohibits
  prohibits, limits, or constrains in any way  the
governing board's  consideration of   authority
or discretion to adopt, require, or utilize  a project labor
agreement that includes specified taxpayer protection provisions for
some or all of the construction projects to be awarded by the city,
state funding or financial assistance may not be used to support any
construction projects awarded by the city, as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
