Bill Summary
An act to amend Sections 10335.5, 10340, and 10365.5 of the Public Contract Code, relating to public contracts.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing California law regarding public contracts for services to create new exemptions and authorizations for federally recognized California Native American tribes. Specifically, it exempts contracts with these tribes from advertising and bidding requirements that typically apply to state agencies when procuring consulting services, and also allows them to enter into interagency agreements with their wholly-owned business enterprises if they provide a limited waiver of sovereign immunity and demonstrate market equivalence for services. Additionally, the bill exempts California Native American tribes from a rule that prevents a company that provided consulting services from bidding on related contracts, provided the consulting services were for tribal cultural resources purposes.
