           DIGEST  :    This bill provides that contracts for the 
          construction, enhancement, or design of any veterans 
          memorial, authorized by the Legislature, funded entirely 
          through private donations, and located in the Capitol 
          Historic Region, shall be exempt from the Public Contract 
          Code.

           Senate Floor Amendments  of 8/23/12 rewrite the Assembly 
          version of this bill.  These amendments exempt privately 
          funded veterans memorials within the Capitol Historic 
          Region from the Public Contract Code to streamline the 
          process for building these memorials.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law provides for the construction, 
          enhancement, and design of memorials on state grounds, as 
          defined.  

          This bill provides that contracts for the construction,
