	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2031, Evans. Public contracts: state acquisition of new
vehicles.
   Existing law imposes various requirements and prohibitions on
state agency contracts for goods. Among these requirements is a
requirement that the contractor certify that it has not provided
goods under the contract that were produced under specified
prohibited labor conditions, and that the contractor has complied
with specified provisions of law.
   This bill would prohibit the Department of General Services from
approving a vehicle acquisition request, vehicle purchase order, or
new contract for the purchase of new vehicles that would result in
the expenditure of funds unless the secretary or director of an
agency or a department, respectively, that has requested the
acquisition of the new vehicles makes a certification, as specified,
verifying that the purchase is vital and mission critical for the
agency or department.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 10295.2 is added to the Public Contract Code,
to read:
   10295.2.  (a) No vehicle acquisition request, vehicle purchase
order, or new contract shall be approved by the Department of General
Services for the purchase of new vehicles that would result in the
expenditure of funds unless a certification is received in writing
and signed by the secretary or director of an agency or a department,
respectively, or his or her designees, that has requested the
acquisition of the new vehicles, verifying that the purchase is vital
and mission critical for the agency or department.
   (b) The certification shall include the date, title, and the
signature of the person authorizing the purchase.
