Bill > AB2445

This bill, concerning public infrastructure projects, primarily aims to increase transparency and restrict the use of nondisclosure agreements in such projects. It mandates that a visitor center for the State Capitol Building Annex must be located within the annex itself or the restored existing annex, with its entrance prohibited from being on the west side of the west wing, and also restricts significant alterations to the west plaza and west steps of the State Capitol Building. Crucially, the bill declares that any nondisclosure agreement related to a "public infrastructure project," defined as construction paid for with public funds, is void and unenforceable if entered into on or after January 1, 2027, with exceptions for agreements that solely protect trade secrets or proprietary information. Furthermore, any nondisclosure agreement associated with the construction of the State Capitol Building Annex or related work is also made void and unenforceable.
