LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law imposes specified requirements on state agencies regarding payment of construction contracts. Existing law also requires the Department of General Services to publish in the California State Contracts Register notice of progress payments made to prime contractors.

This bill would require, within 10 days of making a construction contract payment, a state agency that maintains an Internet Web site to post on its Internet Web site the project for which the payment was made, the name of the construction contractor or company paid, the date the payment was made or the date the state agency transmitted instructions to the Controller or other payer to make the payment, the payment application number or other identifying information, and the amount of the payment. The bill would exempt from these provisions construction contracts valued below $25,000 and specified progress payments published in the California State Contracts Register under existing law.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 10261.7 is added to the Public Contract Code, to read:

10261.7.

(a) Within 10 days of making a construction contract payment, a state agency that maintains an Internet Web site shall post on its Internet Web site the following:

(1) The project for which the payment was made.

(2) The name of the construction contractor or company paid.

(3) The date the payment was made or the date the state agency transmitted instructions to the Controller or other payer to make the payment.

(4) The payment application number or other identifying information.

(5) The amount of the payment.

(b) This section shall not apply to a construction contract valued below twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).

(c) This section shall not apply to progress payments published under Section 10262.3.
