About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the CalSavers retirement savings title. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board and sets rules for how the board, program administrator, and staff must operate. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Trust, assigns the board to administer it, requires the board to split trust money into a program fund and an administrative fund, and gives the Treasurer and the board investment-related powers. It also caps administrative fund spending at 1% of the total program fund after six years from implementation and exempts certain securities from specified Corporations Code sections. The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program must include one or more payroll deduction IRA arrangements, as determined by the board. The board has broad authority over the trust, including contracts, investments, staff, insurance, cooperation, and rulemaking.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT [11000 - 15990.3] ( Division 3 added by Stats. 1945, Ch. 111. ) ## PART 5.5. DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES [14600 - 14985.11] ( Part 5.5 added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 371. ) ## CHAPTER 6.5. Small Business Procurement and Contract Act [14835 - 14847] ( Chapter 6.5 added by Stats. 1973, Ch. 1198. ) ## ARTICLE 1. General Provisions [14835 - 14844] ( Article 1 heading added by Stats. 1998, Ch. 917, Sec. 1. ) ## 14838. In order to facilitate the participation of small business, including microbusiness, in the provision of goods, information technology, and services to the state, and in the construction, including alteration, demolition, repair, or improvement, of state facilities, the directors of the department and other state agencies that enter those contracts, each within their respective areas of responsibility, shall do all of the following: (a) Establish a minimum goal of 25 percent procurement participation for small businesses, including microbusinesses, in the provision of goods, information technology, and services to the state, and in the construction of state facilities. (b) Provide for small business preference, or nonsmall business preference for bidders that provide for small business and microbusiness subcontractor participation, in the award of contracts for goods, information technology, services, and construction, as follows: (1) In solicitations where an award is to be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, the preference to small business and microbusiness shall be 5 percent of the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications. The preference to nonsmall business bidders that provide for small business or microbusiness subcontractor participation shall be, up to a maximum of 5 percent of the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, determined according to rules and regulations established by the Department of General Services. (2) In solicitations where an award is to be made to the highest scored bidder based on evaluation factors in addition to price, the preference to small business or microbusiness shall be 5 percent of the highest responsible bidder’s total score. The preference to nonsmall business bidders that provide for small business or microbusiness subcontractor participation shall be up to a maximum 5 percent of the highest responsible bidder’s total score, determined according to rules and regulations established by the Department of General Services. (3) The preferences under paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not be awarded to a noncompliant bidder and shall not be used to achieve any applicable minimum requirements. (4) The preference under paragraph (1) shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for any bid, and the combined cost of preferences granted pursuant to paragraph (1) and any other provision of law shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). In bids in which the state has reserved the right to make multiple awards, this fifty-thousand-dollar ($50,000) maximum preference cost shall be applied, to the extent possible, so as to maximize the dollar participation of small businesses, including microbusinesses, in the contract award. (c) Give special consideration to small businesses and microbusinesses, by both: (1) Reducing the experience required. (2) Reducing the level of inventory normally required. (d) Give special assistance to small businesses and microbusinesses in the preparation and submission of the information requested in Section 14310. (e) Under the authorization granted in Section 10163 of the Public Contract Code, make awards, whenever feasible, to small business and microbusiness bidders for each project bid upon within their prequalification rating. This may be accomplished by dividing major projects into subprojects so as to allow a small business or microbusiness contractor to qualify to bid on these subprojects. (f) Make continuous efforts to expand the pool of small businesses and microbusinesses that participate in the department’s and other state agencies’ contracts by regularly seeking out and identifying small businesses and microbusinesses that have not previously done business with the department or other state agency or that are not regularly used by the department or other state agency, and including those small businesses and microbusinesses in the agency’s solicitations. (g) Small business and microbusiness bidders qualified in accordance with this chapter shall have precedence over nonsmall business bidders in that the application of a bidder preference for which nonsmall business bidders may be eligible under this section or any other provision of law shall not result in the denial of the award to a small business or microbusiness bidder. In the event of a precise tie between the low responsible bid of a bidder meeting specifications of a small business or microbusiness, and the low responsible bid of a bidder meeting the specifications of a disabled veteran-owned small business or microbusiness, the contract shall be awarded to the disabled veteran-owned small business or microbusiness. This provision applies if the small business or microbusiness bidder is the lowest responsible bidder, as well as if the small business or microbusiness bidder is eligible for award as the result of application of the small business and microbusiness bidder preference granted by subdivision (b). (h) If the directors of the department and other state agencies that enter into those contracts are unable to reach the goals established under subdivision (a) in the year in which the changes made by the act that added this subdivision become operative, the directors of the department and other state agencies may count towards that goal, contracts with firms that would be considered a small business or microbusiness under the amendments made to Section 14837 by the act adding this subdivision. This subdivision shall become operative on January 1, 2019. (Amended by Stats. 2022, Ch. 730, Sec. 5. (AB 2019) Effective January 1, 2023.)

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Market demand is a driving factor in determining profitability of California companies and the ability of those companies to invest in business growth. (b) The onset of COVID-19 and the subsequent economic downturn and recession has laid bare considerable social and economic inequities, and, overall, nearly one-half of all small businesses face permanent closure, with women-owned, minority-owned, and LGBTQ-owned businesses facing even higher foreclosure thresholds. (c) The current economic recession caused by COVID-19 is hitting our minority and disadvantaged communities the hardest. (d) California companies are often at a competitive disadvantage when responding to public contract proposals from government agencies because of factors associated with higher taxes, wages, rents, labor benefits, and insurance rates. (e) The competitiveness of California companies is also impacted as a result of in-state business preference policies that exist in other states. (Amended by Stats. 2022, Ch. 730, Sec. 6.

Operation of the Office of State Printing [14870 - 14877] ( Article 3 added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 371. ) ## 14876. (a) Pressmen, typographers, linotypers, compositors, bookbinders, lithographers, engravers, apprentices and assistants and all other employees of the Office of State Printing employed in allied work shall be paid on an hourly wage basis. The basic wage of those employees shall be the prevailing hourly wage paid to persons identified by the Department of Human Resources to be in similar and comparable employment by private printers in the major metropolitan areas in California. The Department of Human Resources shall accept and give validity to certified copies of agreed upon contracts submitted by either the employer, the employer group, or the employee organization. The Department of Human Resources shall survey only major employers where there are agreed upon contracts. If any agreed upon contract contains any provision or provisions that do not reflect the actual practice of the employer, the Department of Human Resources shall disregard the provision or provisions. If the Department of Human Resources finds that salary relationships between surveyed classes do not accurately reflect relationships in duties and responsibilities of employees of the Office of State Printing, the department shall adjust those wage rates on an equitable basis notwithstanding the survey findings. As used in this section, prevailing wages and prevailing benefits means wages and benefits arrived at through negotiation between an employer or employer organization and an employee organization that is the bona fide representative of the employer’s employees and certified as the bona fide representative by the Director of Industrial Relations. In order to be so certified, the employee organization shall be free from employer influence and domination. (b) In addition to these wages, and the rights and privileges afforded state employees under the provisions of the State Civil Service Act, and other statutes, there shall be paid to each employee of the Office of State Printing, either directly or to a health and welfare fund on his or her behalf, an amount equal to the prevailing individual contributions paid to health and welfare plans for employees in similar and comparable employment by private printers in the major metropolitan areas. Where those contracts do not disclose the dollar value of health and welfare benefits, the state shall provide the same or substantially the same level of benefits as provided for in the agreed upon contracts. Any adjustments made pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of this section shall be effective as of March 1, 1977, and each March 1, thereafter. (c) As an alternative to subdivision (b), a person first employed to any position described in subdivision (a) after October 1, 1977, may elect to become an “employee” as defined in paragraph (5) of subdivision (a) of Section 22772 within 90 days of commencing that employment. Any person who is a member of a health and welfare plan described in subdivision (b) who loses eligibility for participation in the plan, or if the plan of which the person is a member ceases to exist, that person may elect to become an “employee,” as defined in paragraph (5) of subdivision (a) of Section 22772, within 90 days of the date that eligibility is lost or the plan ceases to exist. (d) In no instance shall the wages and the health and welfare contributions paid by the state to the persons covered under this section be less than the dollar amount paid as of the effective date of this section. (e) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions may not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.

The State Architect has general charge, under the Department of General Services, of the erection of all state buildings and shall have an inspector assigned to each building during its construction. It shall be the policy of the state that one of the prime considerations in the design of state buildings shall be the conservation of energy resources needed to heat, cool, and light these buildings; along with usefulness, environmental quality, aesthetic effect, and all matters relating to fire protection and fire safety. In determining the requirements necessary to comply with this policy, the owning and operating costs for the anticipated life of the building shall be used rather than initial cost only.

Contracts for the work may include provision for equipment rental and in addition the furnishing of labor and materials necessary to accomplish the work. The contracts shall not be subject to the State Contract Act, but shall be subject to all of the provisions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 1770) of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code. Whenever the total consideration of such a contract exceeds two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), it shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, after competitive bidding on such reasonable notice as the department may prescribe, except in cases of emergency rental of tools or equipment as hereinafter provided. Posting of notice for five days in a public place in the Sacramento and Los Angeles offices of the Office of Architecture and Construction of the department is sufficient. Those contracts involving a consideration in excess of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) shall be accompanied by labor and material bonds.

    The Legislature says businesses in California are responsible for providing full and equal access to public facilities, and it created the California Commission on Disability Access.

The Legislature finds and declares that, despite the fact that state law has provided persons with disabilities the right to full and equal access to public facilities since 1968, and that a violation of the right of any person under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336; 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12101 et seq.) has also constituted a violation of the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Section 51 of the Civil Code) since 1992, persons with disabilities are still being denied full and equal access to public facilities in many instances. The Legislature further finds and declares that businesses in California have the responsibility to provide full and equal access to public facilities as required in the laws and regulations, but that compliance may be thwarted in some cases by conflicting state and federal regulations, which in turn results in unnecessary litigation. With a view to developing recommendations that will enable persons with disabilities to exercise their right to full and equal access to public facilities, and that will facilitate business compliance with the laws and regulations to avoid unnecessary litigation, the Legislature has created the California Commission on Disability Access within the Department of General Services.

California Film Commission [14998 - 14998.13] ( Heading of Chapter 1 amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 35, Sec. 1. ) ## 14998.1. The Legislature finds that motion picture production in California provides unique and significant contributions to the economy of California and to the cultural enrichment of its citizens, as well as providing a unique form of entertainment for the state, country, and the world at large. The Legislature finds that expenditures for hotels, catered food, leases of equipment and property, transportation, and wages and salaries paid to individuals in California as a result of motion picture production benefit the California economy directly and indirectly. However, the Legislature finds that the significant benefits provided to California by motion picture production are in jeopardy as a result of the concerted efforts of other states and countries to lure this production away from California. Therefore, the Legislature finds a need for concerted efforts by California state and local governments to provide an environment supportive of, and conducive to, the undertakings of the motion picture industry in this state. A key element of this effort is to make California as uniform as possible in the local regulation and permitting of the film industry; as close to a “one-stop permitting” approach as possible.

California Film Commission [14998 - 14998.13] ( Heading of Chapter 1 amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 35, Sec. 1. ) ## 14998.8. (a) The director of the commission shall be the permitting authority for the use of state-owned property and state employee services for the purpose of making commercial motion pictures. Each state agency, department, or commission having jurisdiction over a state property shall work with the commission to establish fees not to exceed the recovery of costs for state services and property maintenance and shall submit the proposed fees in writing to the commission explaining how the fees were calculated, consistent with this section. All fees established pursuant to this section shall be collected and recorded by the commission, and may be deposited in the Film Transfer Account, created in the Special Deposit Fund, or forwarded to the operating agency, department, or commission for reimbursement to recover costs. (b) The director shall assure a “one-stop” permit process for applications for permission to use state-owned property for media production. In so doing, applications for permission to use state property for making media production shall be made to the director of the commission who, promptly upon receipt of such an application, shall contact the state agency having jurisdiction over the property specified in the application for the concurrence of the agency in the use of property. The denial of an application may be made on the basis of any of the following: (1) The use would unduly interfere with the conduct of state business. (2) Failure of the permittee to provide full insurance coverage and security deposit, if required by the Department of General Services, or the affected agency, sufficient to reimburse the state for any user-caused damage to the property and to provide adequate personal liability insurance coverage. The use of state property shall be denied, if it is determined that the use would violate or be in conflict with existing provisions of statute or regulation by the director of the department, agency, or commission responding to a permit request. (c) Any state agency having management and control over state property, the use of which is sought by an application, shall permit the property to be used, unless otherwise denied by the provisions of this section. (d) Nothing in this section requires a state agency to take any action not authorized by law or to make any decision in a manner or by a method not authorized by law or which is prohibited by law. (e) If in connection with the use of roads, highways, and freeways, the assistance, control, or protection by California Highway Patrol officers is desired, applications to the director to utilize services of California Highway Patrol officers during media production activities shall be made directly to the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol. The commissioner may approve the application if employees are available and the agency is fully reimbursed for additional costs incurred. Applications to utilize California Highway Patrol employee services shall be approved or disapproved by the commissioner. (f) The director, whenever feasible, shall approve or deny any application within 24 hours. In the event that the director of the department or agency having jurisdiction over the property specified in the application permit takes no action to disapprove the application within five working days, the application shall be deemed approved by the director. If the director of the department or agency determines that he or she is unable to concur or deny an application within five working days and so notifies the director within five working days of the application, the director shall then have a total of 10 days from receipt of the application to deny the application. In the event no action is taken by the director within the 10-day period, the application shall be deemed approved by the director. (g) At least 30 days prior to adoption of state regulations, rules, written guidelines, or policies that would have clear, explicit, and definite implications for media production on state-owned property by a state agency, including any of that agency’s district or regional offices, other than for immediate health and safety purposes, the agency shall submit a written copy to the director. The commission shall review the proposal and report its findings to the submitting agency within five working days of receipt of the materials sent. The submitting agency shall consider the commission’s findings prior to final adoption of the regulations, rules, written guidelines, or policies, unless the commission’s findings are not made available to the submitting agency within the above prescribed time limits. Any and all findings made by the commission pursuant to this section shall be advisory. The submitting agency shall provide the commission with a final written copy of its adopted regulations, rules, written guidelines, or policies. (Amended by Stats. 2018, Ch. 302, Sec. 9.
