Bill > AB2223

This bill requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to disclose specific information about new contracts or contract renewals, starting January 1, 2027, for services that are typically performed by state employees. This disclosure must include details such as the services provided, the expected hours of contracted workers, the total contract value, and information about the qualifications and pay rates of the contracted workers, as well as any past labor law violations by the contractor. This information must be provided to the union representing the affected state employees at the time the contract is made or renewed. Additionally, starting March 1, 2028, and annually thereafter, CDCR must submit a report to the Legislature detailing these contracts. The bill emphasizes the importance of transparency in these contracts to ensure fiscal accountability and proper use of state resources.
