   SB 741, Dutton. Alternative Protest Pilot Project.
   Existing law provides for the Alternative Protest Pilot Project,

acquisition of information technology goods and services, and
requires the Department of General Services to administer the project
until December 31, 2011.
   This bill would delete the sunset date on the above provision,
thereby extending that provision indefinitely.

read:
   12128.  The Department of General Services shall apply this
