INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Members Evans and De La Torre

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2010

   An act to add Section 10295.2 to the Public Contract Code,
relating to public contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2031, as amended, Evans. Public contracts: state acquisition of
new vehicles.
   Existing law imposes various requirements and prohibitions on
state agency contracts for goods. Among these requirements is a
requirement that the contractor certify that it has not provided
goods under the contract that were produced under specified
prohibited labor conditions, and that the contractor has complied
with specified provisions of law.
   This bill would, notwithstanding existing law, prohibit  a
state agency or department, including  the Department of General
Services  ,  from  entering into a contract for the
acquisition of   purchasing  new vehicles without
the approval of both the secretary or director of the agency or
department, respectively, that has requested the acquisition of new
vehicles, and the Department of Finance.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 10295.2 is added to the Public Contract Code,
to read:
   10295.2.  Notwithstanding any other law,  the Department
of General Services shall not enter into a contract for the
acquisition of   a state agency or department, including
the Department of General Services, shall not purchase  new
vehicles without the approval of both of the following:
   (a) The secretary or director of the agency or department,
respectively, that has requested the acquisition of new vehicles.
   (b) The Department of Finance.
