	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  APRIL 22, 2009

INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Evans

                        FEBRUARY 26, 2009

   An act to  repeal   amend  Section
20209.14 of the Public Contract Code, relating to public contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 729, as amended, Evans. Public contracts: transit design-build
contracts.
   Existing law authorizes transit operators to enter into a
design-build contract, as defined, according to specified procedures.
 Existing law requires certain information submitted under these
provisions to be submitted under penalty of perjury.  Existing
law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2011.
   This bill would  delete the January 1, 2011, repeal date
of these provisions   instead repeal these provisions on
January 1, 2015. Because the bill would expand the crime of perjury,
it 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. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .


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

   SECTION 1.    Section 20209.14 of the  
Public Contract Code   is amended to read: 
   20209.14.  This article shall remain in effect only until January

repealed.
   SEC. 2.    No reimbursement is required by this act
pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local

new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or
changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of
Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a
crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the
California Constitution.  
  SECTION 1.   Section 20209.14 of the Public
Contract Code is repealed.
