Bill > AB1658

This bill modifies the Local Agency Public Construction Act to remove limitations on the number of contracts that the Counties of Los Angeles and Santa Clara can modify through change orders and eliminates the requirement for these counties to submit review reports to legislative committees. Specifically, it removes the previous restriction that these counties could modify no more than seven contracts under certain provisions and removes the deadline for submitting a review report by July 1, 2026. Furthermore, the bill removes the January 1, 2027, repeal date for these provisions, making them permanent. The bill also includes legislative findings declaring that special statutes are necessary for both Santa Clara and Los Angeles Counties due to their unique needs, with specific justifications provided for Los Angeles County's large population and extensive infrastructure.
