	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 469, as introduced, Corbett. Public contracts: local agencies:
public transit vehicles.
   Existing law establishes various bidding requirements for local
agencies entering into construction contracts.
   This bill would require a local authority awarding a procurement
contract for the purchase of a public transit vehicle to give a 10
percent preference to any bidder that agrees that all vehicles to be
purchased under the contract are to be manufactured within the State
of California. This bill would also state that this is an issue of
statewide concern.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 22160) is added to
Part 3 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code, to read:
      CHAPTER 4.  PUBLIC TRANSIT VEHICLES


   22160.  (a) An awarding authority that use a competitive bidding
process and awards a procurement contract for the purchase of a
public transit vehicle shall give a 10 percent preference to any
bidder that agrees that all public transit vehicles to be purchased
under the contract are to be manufactured within the State of
California.
   (b) For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions
apply:
   (1) "Awarding authority" means a local government agency,
including any city, county, city and county, special district,
transit district, or joint powers authority that awards or otherwise
enters into contracts for the public transit vehicles.
   (2) "Bidder" means a person that submits a bid to sell a public
transit vehicle to an awarding authority.
   (3) "Manufactured within the State of California" means a majority
of the component parts were manufactured or assembled at a facility
in California.
   (4) "Person" means any individual, proprietorship, joint venture,
corporation, limited liability company, trust, association, other
entity.
   (5) "Public transit vehicle" means a vehicle used or intended to
be used to transport members of the general public, including, but is
not limited to, school buses.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares that maintaining
jobs in this state, including charter cities and counties, has a
direct impact on the well-being of all residents of this state.
Therefore, the Legislature finds and declares that giving a public
contract preference to a bidder that manufactures public transit
vehicles within the State of California, is an issue of statewide
concern and not a municipal affair, as that term is used in Section 5
of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this act
shall apply to every city and county in this state, including a
charter city, charter county, and charter city and county.
