   An act to amend Section 19132 of the Government Code, relating to
personal services contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 906, Pan. Personal services contracts.
   The State Civil Service Act authorizes state agencies to use
personal services contracts if prescribed conditions are met. The
act, with regard to personal services contracts permissible to
achieve cost savings when certain conditions are met, requires the
agency to notify the State Personnel Board of its intention to enter
into such a contract and requires the board to contact all
organizations that represent state employees who perform the type of
work to be contracted. The act also makes personal services contracts
permissible under other specified conditions, without regard to cost
savings. The act requires the board, at the request of an employee
organization that represents state employees, to review the adequacy
of a proposed or executed personal services contract, as specified.
   This bill would amend the act to prohibit the execution of those
proposed personal services contracts permissible under specified
conditions, without regard to cost savings, until the state agency
proposing to execute the contract has notified all organizations that
represent state employees who perform the type of work to be
contracted. The bill would require the Department of General Services
to establish a process to certify that notification.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 19132 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   19132.  (a) The State Personnel Board, at the request of an
employee organization that represents state employees, shall review
the adequacy of any proposed or executed contract that is of a type
enumerated in subdivision (b) of Section 19130. The review shall be
conducted in accordance with subdivision (c) of Section 10337 of the
Public Contract Code. However, a contract that was reviewed at the
request of an employee organization when it was proposed need not be
reviewed again after its execution.
   (b) (1) Unless a personal services contract pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 19130 is necessary due to a sudden and
unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger,
requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or
impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services,
the contract shall not be executed until the state agency proposing
to execute the contract has notified all organizations that represent
state employees who perform the type of work to be contracted.
   (2) At a minimum, the notice shall include a full copy of the
proposed contract. The notifying agency may redact specific
confidential or proprietary information from the notice.
   (3) The Department of General Services shall establish a process
to certify the notification in paragraph (1).
   (4) The notification and certification of notice requirements of
this subdivision do not change the requirements for contracts under
Section 11045 or require an additional notification.
