	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 432, as introduced, Mendoza. Public works: aliens.
   Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires the payment of not
less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, for work of
a similar character in the locality in which a public works project
is performed, to all workers employed on a public works project. With
respect to the extension of public works, existing law extends
preference for employment first to California citizens, next to
citizens of other states who are in California at the time of
application, and next to aliens who are in California at the time of
application. Existing law defines "alien" as any person who is not a
born or fully naturalized citizen of the United States.
   This bill would repeal this definition of "alien."
   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  Section 1725 of the Labor Code is repealed. 
   1725.  "Alien" means any person who is not a born or fully
naturalized citizen of the United States.
