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.

Prohibitions Applicable to Specified Officers [1090 - 1099] ( Article 4 enacted by Stats. 1943, Ch. 134. ) ## 1097.6. (a) (1) For a public entity that has entered into a contract with an independent contractor to perform one phase of a project and seeks to enter into a subsequent contract with that independent contractor for a later phase of the same project, the independent contractor is not an “officer” under this article if the independent contractor’s duties and services related to the initial contract did not include engaging in or advising on public contracting on behalf of the public entity. (2) For purposes of this section, “engaging in or advising on public contracting” means preparing or assisting the public entity with any portion of the public entity’s preparation of a request for proposals, request for qualifications, or any other solicitation regarding a subsequent or additional contract with the public entity. (b) (1) If an independent contractor is an officer under subdivision (a), then it is not a violation of this article for the public entity to enter into a subsequent contract with that independent contractor for a later phase of the same project if the independent contractor did not engage in or advise on the making of the subsequent contract during its performance of the initial contract. (2) For purposes of this section, an independent contractor does not “engage in or advise on the making of the subsequent contract” by participating in the planning, discussions, or drawing of plans or specifications during an initial stage of a project if that participation is limited to conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications and all bidders or proposers for the subsequent contract have access to the same information, including all conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications. (c) A person who acts in good faith reliance on this section is not in violation of this article and shall not be subject to criminal, civil, or administrative enforcement under this article if both of the following conditions are met: (1) A statement identical or substantially similar to the following is included in the initial contract between the public entity and the independent contractor: “Contractor/consultant’s duties and services under this agreement shall not include preparing or assisting the public entity with any portion of the public entity’s preparation of a request for proposals, request for qualifications, or any other solicitation regarding a subsequent or additional contract with the public entity. The public entity entering this agreement shall at all times retain responsibility for public contracting, including with respect to any subsequent phase of this project. Contractor/consultant’s participation in the planning, discussions, or drawing of project plans or specifications shall be limited to conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications. Contractor/consultant shall cooperate with the public entity to ensure that all bidders for a subsequent contract on any subsequent phase of this project have access to the same information, including all conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications prepared by contractor pursuant to this agreement.” (2) The independent contractor is not in breach of the contractual obligations set forth in paragraph (1). (d) If a person acts in good faith reliance on this section but fails to include the language set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) in the initial contract between the public entity and the independent contractor, it is a complete defense to a violation of this article in any criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding if either of the following apply: (1) The independent contractor is not an officer pursuant to subdivision (a). (2) If the independent contractor is an officer pursuant to subdivision (a), the independent contractor did not engage in or advise on the making of the subsequent contract as provided in subdivision (b).

(a) A public officer, including, but not limited to, an appointed or elected member of a governmental board, commission, committee, or other body, shall not simultaneously hold two public offices that are incompatible. Offices are incompatible when any of the following circumstances are present, unless simultaneous holding of the particular offices is compelled or expressly authorized by law: (1) Either of the offices may audit, overrule, remove members of, dismiss employees of, or exercise supervisory powers over the other office or body. (2) Based on the powers and jurisdiction of the offices, there is a possibility of a significant clash of duties or loyalties between the offices. (3) Public policy considerations make it improper for one person to hold both offices. (b) When two public offices are incompatible, a public officer shall be deemed to have forfeited the first office upon acceding to the second. This provision is enforceable pursuant to Section 803 of the Code of Civil Procedure. (c) This section does not apply to a position of employment, including a civil service position. (d) This section shall not apply to a governmental body that has only advisory powers.

(f) This section codifies the common law rule prohibiting an individual from holding incompatible public offices. (Added by Stats. 2005, Ch. 254, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2006.)

These lands shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) Land not currently being utilized, or currently being underutilized, by the state agency for any existing or ongoing state program. (2) Land for which the state agency has not identified any specific utilization relative to future programmatic needs.

(d) The Department of General Services shall review and consider reports submitted to the Director of General Services pursuant to Section 66907.12 of this code and Section 31104.3 of the Public Resources Code before recommending or taking any action on surplus land, and shall also circulate the reports to all state agencies that are required to report excess land pursuant to this section. In recommending or determining the disposition of surplus lands, the Director of General Services may give priority to proposals by the state that involve the exchange of surplus lands for lands listed in those reports. (e) Except as otherwise provided by any other law, whenever any land is reported as excess pursuant to this section, the Department of General Services shall determine whether or not the use of the land is needed by any other state agency. If the Department of General Services determines that any land is needed by any other state agency it may transfer the jurisdiction of this land to the other state agency upon the terms and conditions as it may deem to be for the best interests of the state. (f) When authority is granted for the sale or other disposition of lands declared excess, and the Department of General Services has determined that the use of the land is not needed by any other state agency, the Department of General Services shall sell the land or otherwise dispose of the same pursuant to the authorization, upon any terms and conditions and subject to any reservations and exceptions as the Department of General Services may deem to be for the best interests of the state. The Department of General Services shall report to the Legislature annually, with respect to each parcel of land authorized to be sold under this section, giving the following information: (1) A description or other identification of the property. (2) The date of authorization. (3) With regard to each parcel sold after the next preceding report, the date of sale and price received, or the value of the land received in exchange. (4) The present status of the property, if not sold or otherwise disposed of at the time of the report. (g) (1) (A) Except as otherwise specified by law, the net proceeds received from any real property disposition, including the sale, lease, exchange, or other means, that is received pursuant to this section shall be paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund Subaccount, established pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 20 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, as approved by the voters at the March 2, 2004, statewide primary election, until the time that the bonds issued pursuant to the Economic Recovery Bond Act (Title 18 (commencing with Section 99050)), approved by the voters at the March 2, 2004, statewide primary election, are retired. Thereafter, the net proceeds received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties. (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the department may deposit some or all of the net proceeds into the Property Acquisition Law Money Account for the purposes of maintaining an operating reserve sufficient to continue redeveloping excess state properties as affordable housing. (2) For purposes of this section, net proceeds shall be defined as proceeds less any outstanding loans from the General Fund, or outstanding reimbursements due to the Property Acquisition Law Money Account for costs incurred before June 30, 2005, related to the management of the state’s real property assets, including, but not limited to, surplus property identification, legal research, feasibility statistics, activities associated with land use, and due diligence. (3) For the purposes of this section, “an operating reserve sufficient to continue redeveloping excess state properties as affordable housing” means an amount not to exceed three years of operating costs to redevelop excess state properties as affordable housing. (h) The Director of Finance may approve loans from the General Fund to the Property Acquisition Law Money Account, which is hereby created in the State Treasury, for the purposes of supporting the management of the state’s real property assets. (i) Any rentals or other revenues received by the department from real properties, the jurisdiction of which has been transferred to the Department of General Services under this section, shall be deposited in the Property Acquisition Law Money Account and shall be available for expenditure by the Department of General Services upon appropriation by the Legislature. (j) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit the sale, letting, or other disposition of any state lands pursuant to any law now or hereafter enacted authorizing the sale, letting, or disposition. (k) (1) The disposition of a parcel of surplus state real property, pursuant to Section 11011.1, made on an “as is” basis shall be exempt from Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. Upon title to the parcel vesting in the purchaser or transferee of the property, the purchaser or transferee shall be subject to any local governmental land use entitlement approval requirements and to Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. (2) If the disposition of a parcel of surplus state real property, pursuant to Section 11011.1, is not made on an “as is” basis and close of escrow is contingent on the satisfaction of a local governmental land use entitlement approval requirement or compliance by the local government with Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code, the execution of the purchase and sale agreement or of the exchange agreement by all parties to the agreement shall be exempt from Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. (3) For purposes of this subdivision, “disposition” means the sale, exchange, sale combined with an exchange, or transfer of a parcel of surplus state property.

State Agencies [11000 - 11148.5] ( Chapter 1 added by Stats. 1945, Ch. 111. ) ## ARTICLE 1. General [11000 - 11019.12] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1945, Ch. 111. ) ## 11011.1. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except Article 8.5 (commencing with Section 54235) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, the disposal of surplus state real property by the Department of General Services shall be subject to the requirements of this section. For purposes of this section, “surplus state real property” means real property declared surplus by the Legislature and directed to be disposed of by the Department of General Services, including any real property previously declared surplus by the Legislature but not yet disposed of by the Department of General Services prior to the enactment of this section. (b) (1) The department may dispose of surplus state real property by sale, lease, exchange, a sale combined with an exchange, or other manner of disposition of property, as authorized by the Legislature, upon any terms and conditions and subject to any reservations and exceptions the department deems to be in the best interests of the state. (2) (A) The Legislature finds and declares that the provision of decent housing for all Californians is a state goal of the highest priority. The disposal of surplus state real property is a direct and substantial public purpose of statewide concern and will serve an important public purpose, including mitigating the environmental effects of state activities. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that priority be given, as specified in this section, to the disposal of surplus state real property to housing for persons and families of low or moderate income, where land is suitable for housing and there is a need for housing in the community. (B) Surplus state real property that has been determined by the department not to be needed by any state agency shall be offered to any local agency, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 54221, and then to nonprofit affordable housing sponsors, prior to being offered for sale to private entities or individuals. As used in this section, “nonprofit affordable housing sponsor” means any of the following: (i) A nonprofit corporation incorporated pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 5000) of Title 1 of the Corporations Code. (ii) A cooperative housing corporation which is a stock cooperative, as defined by Section 11003.2 of the Business and Professions Code. (iii) A limited-dividend housing corporation. (C) The department, subject to this section, shall maintain a list of surplus state real property in a conspicuous place on its internet website. The department shall provide local agencies and, upon request, members of the public, with electronic notification of updates to the list of properties. (D) To be considered as a potential priority buyer of the surplus state real property, a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor shall do both of the following: (i) Notify the department of its interest in the surplus state real property within 90 days of the department posting on its internet website the notice of the availability of the surplus state real property. (ii) Demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the department, that the surplus state real property, or portion of that surplus state real property, is to be used by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for open space, public parks, affordable housing projects, housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, or development of local government-owned facilities. (E) When more than one local agency expresses an interest in the surplus state real property, priority shall be given to the local agency that intends to use the surplus state real property for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. If no agreement or transfer of title occurs, the priority shall next be given to the local agency that intends to use the surplus state real property for open space, public parks, or development of local government-owned facilities. The sales agreement shall be executed by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor within 60 days after the director determines the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor is to receive the surplus state real property. The sale of the surplus state real property to a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor pursuant to this section shall be completed, and title transferred, within 60 days of the date the department executes the sales agreement, or, if required by law, no later than 60 days after the State Public Works Board has authorized the sale. If the sale of a surplus state real property to a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor is not completed within the timeframe specified in this subparagraph, then the department shall proceed with the process for disposal to other private entities or individuals. If no local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor informs the department of its interest in acquiring the property within 90 days of the department posting on its internet website the notice of the availability of the surplus state real property, the department shall notify the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature within 30 days of the expiration of the initial 90-day timeframe. (F) Use of surplus state real property, or a portion of that surplus state real property, by a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for an affordable housing project pursuant to this section shall be a use by right and shall not constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. (c) (1) If more than one local agency desires the surplus state real property for use as an open space, a public park, or the development of a local government-owned facility, the department shall transfer the surplus state real property to the local agency offering the highest price above fair market value. If more than one local agency desires the surplus state real property for use as an affordable housing project or as housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, the department shall transfer the surplus state real property to the local agency offering the greatest number of affordable housing units or units of housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. If more than one nonprofit affordable housing sponsor desires the surplus state real property for use as an affordable housing project or as housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, the department shall transfer the surplus state real property to the nonprofit affordable housing sponsor offering the greatest number of affordable housing units or units of housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. (2) If no local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor is interested, or an agreement, as provided above, is not reached, then the disposal of the surplus state real property to private entities or individuals shall be pursuant to a public bidding process designed to obtain the highest most certain return for the state from a responsible bidder, and any transaction based on such a bidding process shall be deemed to be the fair market value for the purposes of the reporting requirements pursuant to subdivision (d). (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the department may sell surplus state real property, or a portion of surplus state real property, to a local agency, or to a nonprofit affordable housing sponsor if no local agency is interested in the surplus state real property, for affordable housing projects or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals at a sales price less than fair market value if the department determines that such a discount will enable the provision of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income or formerly incarcerated individuals. Nothing shall preclude a local agency that purchases the surplus state real property for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals from reconveying the surplus state real property to a nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for development of affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. Transfer of title to the surplus state real property or lease of the surplus state real property for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals shall be conditioned upon continued use of the surplus state real property as housing for persons and families of low and moderate income or formerly incarcerated individuals for at least 40 years and the department shall record a regulatory agreement that imposes affordability covenants, conditions, and restrictions on the surplus state real property. The regulatory agreement shall be a first priority lien on the surplus state real property and last for a period of at least 40 years, and if another state agency is lending funds for a project, a combined regulatory agreement shall be utilized. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the regulatory agreement shall not be subordinated to any other lien or encumbrance except for any federal loan program the statutes or regulations of which require a first priority lien for that federal loan. (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Director of General Services may transfer surplus state real property to a local agency for less than fair market value if the local agency uses the surplus state real property for parks or open-space purposes. The deed or other instrument of transfer shall provide that the surplus state real property would revert to the state if the use changed to a use other than parks or open-space purposes during the period of 25 years after the transfer date. For the purpose of this paragraph, “open-space purposes” means the use of land for public recreation, enjoyment of scenic beauty, or conservation or use of natural resources. (d) Thirty days prior to executing a transaction for a sale, lease, exchange, a sale combined with an exchange, or other manner of disposition of the surplus state real property for less than fair market value or for affordable housing or housing for formerly incarcerated individuals, or as authorized by the Legislature, the Director of General Services shall report to the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature all of the following: (1) The financial terms of the transaction. (2) A comparison of fair market value for the surplus state real property and the terms listed in paragraph (1). (3) The basis for agreeing to terms and conditions other than fair market value. (e) As to surplus state real property sold or exchanged pursuant to this section, the director shall except and reserve to the state all mineral deposits, as described in Section 6407 of the Public Resources Code, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the deposits. If, however, the director determines that there is little or no potential for mineral deposits, the reservation may be without surface right of entry above a depth of 500 feet, or the rights to prospect for, mine, and remove the deposits shall be limited to those areas of the surplus state real property conveyed that the director determines to be reasonably necessary for the removal of the deposits. (f) The failure to comply with this section, except for subdivision (d), shall not invalidate the transfer or conveyance of surplus state real property to a purchaser for value. (g) For purposes of this section, fair market value is established by an appraisal and economic evaluation conducted by the department or approved by the department.

(a) The Legislature finds and declares as follows: (1) There is no complete inventory of all state real property holdings containing information on present use, characteristics of the holding, or its value. (2) Both the Auditor General and the California Commission on State Government Organization and Economy have found that there is state-owned real property which is presently unused and should be declared surplus, and that there is little or no internal or external review to determine if lands could be declared surplus. (3) The Auditor General, in a report entitled “California Could Earn Millions of Dollars from Better Management of its Excess Land,” also found that the state is losing money by retaining property which is not being used. This deprives the General Fund of revenues which could be generated by the sale or transfer of surplus land. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to improve the state’s management of its real property holdings by delegating to the Department of General Services the responsibility for maintaining a central inventory of the state’s real property holdings. (c) It is also the intent of the Legislature that the staff of the Office of Space and Real Estate Services of the Department of General Services be utilized for the implementation of Section 11011.15.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the department may advertise and award contracts for services related to the disposition of real property, in accordance with this section. (b) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: (1) “Qualified firm” means an individual, firm, or combination of firms and individuals having appropriate expertise and knowledge related to due diligence investigations, land use planning, real estate development, entitlement, appraisals, real estate economics and valuation, marketing, public relations, auctioning, and other related matters involved in the disposal, reuse, leasing, and sale of real property. (2) “Prequalified list” means a list of firms that possess the qualifications established by the department to perform specific types of services needed by the department pursuant to this section. (c) The department may establish prequalified lists in accordance with the following process: (1) For each type of work for which the department elects to use this process for the advertising and awarding of contracts, the department may request statements of qualifications from interested firms. The request for statements of qualifications shall be announced statewide through the State Contracts Register and any applicable publications of appropriate professional societies. Each announcement shall describe the general scope of services to be provided within each category for contracts for services that the department anticipates may be awarded during the period covered by the announcement. (2) The department shall evaluate the statements of qualifications, and create a list of the most qualified firms that meet the criteria established and published by the department. Discussions may be held regarding each firm’s qualifications with all listed firms. The department shall maintain lists of prequalified firms, which shall be updated at least every two years from the date the lists are established to allow for additional firms to be added. The department may, at its discretion, add qualified firms more frequently than every two years. (3) As specific real properties are identified by the department as being eligible for contracting during the time period that the prequalified lists are valid, the department shall contact at least three qualified firms in each category of services desired by the department for the real property disposition, to determine if those qualified firms have sufficient staff and are available for performance of a specific project. If the qualified firm that is contacted is not available, the department shall continue to contact qualified firms on the prequalified list, in the order the firms appear on the list, until at least three available qualified firms are identified. If a category on the prequalified list has less than three qualified firms, the department may utilize other firms on the prequalified list that are included in a different category on the list, if those firms are able to provide the desired services. (4) Once the department has identified interested firms from the prequalified list, it shall solicit cost proposals from those prequalified firms. The department shall negotiate a contract for the services with the best qualified firm at compensation the department deems fair and reasonable to the state. (5) If the department is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the identified qualified firm, negotiations with that qualified firm shall be terminated and negotiations shall be undertaken with the next qualified firm on the prequalified list that is available to perform the contract. If a satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated with the second identified qualified firm, negotiations may be terminated and the negotiation process shall be continued with the remaining qualified firms. If the department is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with a qualified firm on three separate occasions, the department may remove that qualified firm from the prequalified list. (d) Contracts for services that the department elects to advertise and award in accordance with this section are not subject to Article 4 (commencing with Section 10335) of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code and shall not include services defined in Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 4525) of Division 5 of Title 1 of the Government Code.

(a) If no state or other public entity seeks to obtain title to specific surplus state-owned real property, a state agency authorized to sell that property, except property acquired for state highway purposes, may, with the approval of the Department of General Services, employ a licensed real estate broker who is local with respect to that property for a negotiated commission not to exceed reasonable and customary brokerage commissions applicable to similar privately owned properties in the area in connection with that sale and pay the amount of commission earned by the broker. The commission shall be paid only out of the proceeds of the sale before the proceeds are remitted to the State Treasury. The Director of General Services shall only employ the services of a broker if the director determines that the employment of a broker to sell the property would result in a cost savings to the state. Any state properties sold through the services of a broker shall be reported, along with a comparison of the estimated cost savings obtained through the use of a broker, in the annual surplus property report to the Legislature required pursuant to Section 11011. (b) Notwithstanding any other law, the state’s selection for the professional services of a licensed real estate broker shall be made on the basis of the location of the property, the broker’s demonstration of knowledge of the local real estate market and success in selling real property in the local market, and on demonstrated competence and the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. To implement this selection method, the state shall adopt specific criteria to determine the competence and qualification for the services to be performed and to evaluate the customary brokerage commission to be charged based on services in the area.

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to improve and expand the state’s existing advance payment practices for state grants and contract with nonprofits and tribes. (b) For purposes of this section, all of the following definitions apply: (1) “Administering state agency” means a state agency that administers a grant program or contract. (2) “Recipient entity” means either of the following: (A) A private, nonprofit organization that qualifies under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. (B) A federally recognized Indian tribe whose territorial boundaries lie wholly or partially within the State of California, and any agencies, entities, or arms of the tribe, as applicable, either together or separately. (3) “State agency” has the same meaning as in Section 11000. (c) An administering state agency may advance a payment to a recipient entity subject to all of the following requirements: (1) The administering state agency shall do all of the following: (A) Prioritize recipient entities and projects serving disadvantaged, low-income, and under-resourced communities or organizations with modest reserves and potential cashflow problems. (B) Stipulate an advance payment structure and request process within the grant agreement or contract between the administering state agency and the recipient entity. (C) Ensure the advance payment to the recipient entity does not exceed 25 percent of the total grant amount or contract awarded to that recipient entity. An administering state agency may exceed the 25-percent limit if the administering state agency determines that the project requires a larger advance and the recipient entity provides sufficient justification and documentation for that larger advance to the administering state agency. (2) (A) Except as provided in clause (iii), the recipient entity shall satisfy the following minimum requirements: (i) Provide an itemized budget for the eligible costs the advanced payment will fund, indirect or other costs needed to operate, a spending timeline, and a workplan developed in a form and manner specified by the administering state agency. (ii) Submit documentation, as required by the administering state agency, to support the need for advance payment, which may include, but is not be limited to, invoices, contracts, estimates, payroll records, and financial records. (iii) Demonstrate its current status in good standing as an organization exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This clause shall not apply to tribes. (iv) Obtain insurance in an amount commensurate with the assessed risk, if required by the administering state agency and stipulated within the grant agreement or contract. (v) Deposit any funds received as an advance payment into a federally insured account of the recipient entity that provides the ability to track interest earned and withdrawals. Any accumulated interest shall be deemed to be grant or contract moneys, subject to federal and state laws and regulations, and the recipient shall report interest earned on the advance payment to the administering state agency. The recipient entity’s account shall be in the recipient entity’s name, and not in the name of any of its directors or officers. (vi) Establish procedures to minimize the amount of time that elapses between the transfer of funds and the expenditure of those funds by the recipient or subrecipient. Further advance payments may be made if a grantee or contract recipient is able to demonstrate that a sufficient amount of previously advanced funds has been expended or that a plan is in place to ensure the expenditure of those funds in a timely manner, as determined by the administering state agency. (vii) Provide progress reports on the expenditure of advanced funds no less than on a quarterly basis and as otherwise required by the administering state agency. All unused funding provided as an advance payment, but not expended within the grant or contract timeline, shall be returned to the state. (viii) Provide a progress report to the administering state agency following the expenditure of an advance payment that includes a summary of work completed, proof of expenditure, and other associated information as determined by the administering state agency. (B) (i) Recipient entities may provide moneys from the advance payment to subrecipients in accordance with their grant program requirements or contract. (ii) Recipients shall require all entities they subcontract with or award grant moneys to comply with state statutes, regulations, requirements and the terms and conditions of the state award. (iii) Regardless of any transfer or assignment of advance payments to subrecipients, recipients shall be liable to the state agency for any failures by subrecipients to ensure the award is used in accordance with state statutes, regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the state award. (d) Advance payments authorized under this section shall be limited to the minimum immediate cash requirements necessary to carry out the purpose of the approved activity, program, or project, as determined by the administering state agency and subject to that administering state agency’s approval of the recipient entity’s or recipient state agency’s workplan and written justification. (e) The Department of Finance or its designee may audit, during or after the conclusion of the term of the grant agreement, any state agency subject to this section or any recipient or subrecipient that received an advance payment under this section. The state agency, recipient, or subrecipient shall cooperate fully with the audit, including, but not limited to, providing access to its staff, books, records, accounts, or other materials, as requested. (f) This section shall not be construed as limiting, prohibiting, or superseding any existing payment or grantmaking authorizations or powers of state agencies utilizing this section.

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The Attorney General performs separate functions in enforcing state laws, pursuant to Section 13 of Article V of the California Constitution, and serving as counsel, whenever requested, for the representation of state agencies and employees in judicial and administrative adjudicative proceedings and other matters. (2) When a state agency requests representation by the Attorney General, the Attorney General establishes an attorney-client relationship with a state agency that is limited to the specific matter or matters for which the state agency has requested representation. (3) It is important to uphold the divided executive branch enacted by the California Constitution. (4) The findings provided in this subdivision are declaratory of existing law, as demonstrated in People ex rel. Lockyer v. Superior Court (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 1060 and People v. Superior Court (Barrett) (2000) 80 Cal.App.4th 1305. (b) The Attorney General has no control over any state agency’s decisions or possession, custody, or control over any state agency’s documents or electronically stored information for purposes of criminal or civil discovery or any other purpose. (c) Every state agency is a separate legal entity. Unless an agency is in actual possession of the relevant documents or electronically stored information, no state agency has possession, custody, or control over any other state agency’s documents or electronically stored information for purposes of criminal or civil discovery or the California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1). Service of a summons, complaint, or subpoena on one state agency is not lawful service on any other state agency, unless the state agency served has been authorized to accept service on behalf of the other state agency. (d) When the Attorney General institutes or defends an action in their independent capacity on behalf of the State of California or the people of the State of California, the Attorney General acts in the public interest of the State of California and its residents and not as the legal representative or attorney of any state entity, including entities within the executive, legislative, or judicial branches. State agencies are not parties to an action described in this subdivision, unless they are specifically named as a party, and the documents or electronically stored information of state agencies are not in the possession, custody, or control of the Attorney General. (e) (1) Section 11042 does not apply for purposes of representation of a state agency related to civil discovery, whether sought as party or third-party discovery, in any action brought by the Attorney General in their independent capacity on behalf of the people of the State of California or the State of California. (2) Nothing in paragraph (1) shall prohibit a state agency from requesting representation from the Attorney General in a proceeding otherwise subject to paragraph (1). (f) It is the intent of the Legislature that this section be interpreted broadly to include any action filed by the Attorney General, whether filed in federal court or state court, to enforce state laws or defend the interests of the people of the State of California or the State of California where the Attorney General has not been requested to act as counsel for that state agency.

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this article, to reduce the excessive flow of unsolicited state agency reports which, after being written, printed, and distributed at significant public expense, are received without having been requested by legislative offices, state agency offices, and other recipients who often shelve, destroy, or otherwise dispose of the unsolicited material often, again, at significant public expense. (b) In enacting this article, it is not the intent of the Legislature to reduce the free flow of information between state government and the public but, rather, to reduce the use of state government publications for other than required informational purposes and to effect a reduction in the escalating public expense of writing, printing, and distributing unsolicited state agency reports.

It is the public policy of this state that public agencies exist to aid in the conduct of the people’s business and the proceedings of public agencies be conducted openly so that the public may remain informed. In enacting this article the Legislature finds and declares that it is the intent of the law that actions of state agencies be taken openly and that their deliberation be conducted openly. The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created. This article shall be known and may be cited as the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act.

(a) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) “Teleconference” means a meeting of a state body, the members of which are at different locations, connected by electronic means, through either audio or both audio and video. (2) “Teleconference location” means a physical location that is accessible to the public and from which members of the public may participate in the meeting. (3) “Remote location” means a location from which a member of a state body participates in a meeting other than a teleconference location. (4) “Participate remotely” means participation by a member of the body in a meeting at a remote location other than a teleconference location designated in the notice of the meeting. (b) (1) In addition to the authorization to hold a meeting by teleconference pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 11123 and Section 11123.5, a state body may hold an open or closed meeting by teleconference as described in this section, provided the meeting complies with all of this section’s requirements and, except as set forth in this section, it also complies with all other applicable requirements of this article relating to the specific type of meeting. (2) This section does not limit or affect the ability of a state body to hold a teleconference meeting under another provision of this article, including Sections 11123 and 11123.5. (c) The portion of the teleconferenced meeting that is required to be open to the public shall be visible and audible to the public at each teleconference location. (d) (1) The state body shall provide a means by which the public may remotely hear audio of the meeting, remotely observe the meeting, remotely address the body, or attend the meeting by providing on the posted agenda a teleconference telephone number, an internet website or other online platform, and a physical address for each teleconference location. The telephonic or online means provided to the public to access the meeting shall be equivalent to the telephonic or online means provided to a member of the state body participating remotely. (2) The applicable teleconference telephone number, internet website or other online platform, and physical address of each teleconference location, as well as any other information indicating how the public can access the meeting remotely and in person, shall be specified in any notice required by this article. (3) If the state body allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically, the state body shall do both of the following: (A) Implement a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12101 et seq.), and resolving any doubt whatsoever in favor of accessibility. (B) Advertise that procedure each time notice is given of the means by which members of the public may observe the meeting and offer public comment. (e) This section does not prohibit a state body from providing members of the public with additional locations from which the public may observe or address the state body by electronic means, through either audio or both audio and video. (f) (1) The agenda shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the state body directly pursuant to Section 11125.7. (2) Members of the public shall be entitled to exercise their right to directly address the state body during the teleconferenced meeting without being required to submit public comments before the meeting or in writing. (g) The state body shall post the agenda on its internet website and, on the day of the meeting, at each teleconference location. (h) This section does not affect the requirement prescribed by this article that the state body post an agenda of a meeting in accordance with the applicable notice requirements of this article, including Section 11125, requiring the state body to post an agenda of a meeting at least 10 days in advance of the meeting, Section 11125.4, applicable to special meetings, and Sections 11125.5 and 11125.6, applicable to emergency meetings. (i) At least one member of the state body shall be physically present at each teleconference location. (j) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a majority of the members of the state body shall be physically present at the same teleconference location. Additional members of the state body in excess of a majority of the members may attend and participate in the meeting from a remote location. A remote location is not required to be accessible to the public. The notice and agenda shall not disclose information regarding a remote location. (2) A member attending and participating from a remote location may count toward the majority required to hold a teleconference if both of the following conditions are met: (A) The member has a need related to a physical or mental disability, as those terms are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1, that is not otherwise reasonably accommodated pursuant to the federal Americans with Disability Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12101 et seq.). (B) The member notifies the state body at the earliest opportunity possible, including at the start of a meeting, of their need to participate remotely, including providing a general description of the circumstances relating to their need to participate remotely at the given meeting. (3) If a member notifies the body of the member’s need to attend and participate remotely pursuant to paragraph (2), the body shall take action to approve the exception and shall request a general description of the circumstances relating to the member’s need to participate remotely at the meeting, for each meeting in which the member seeks to participate remotely. The body shall not require the member to provide a general description that exceeds 20 words or to disclose any medical diagnosis or disability, or any personal medical information that is already exempt under existing law, such as the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (Part 2.6 (commencing with Section 56) of Division 1 of the Civil Code). (4) If a member of the state body attends the meeting by teleconference from a remote location, the member shall disclose whether any other individuals 18 years of age or older are present in the room at the remote location with the member, and the general nature of the member’s relationship with any such individuals. (k) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the members of the state body shall visibly appear on camera during the open portion of a meeting that is publicly accessible via the internet or other online platform. (2) The visual appearance of a member of the state body on camera may cease only when the appearance would be technologically impracticable, including, but not limited to, when the member experiences a lack of reliable broadband or internet connectivity that would be remedied by joining without video, or when the visual display of meeting materials, information, or speakers on the internet or other online platform requires the visual appearance of a member of a state body on camera to cease. (3) If a member of the state body does not appear on camera due to challenges with internet connectivity, the member shall announce the reason for their nonappearance when they turn off their camera. (l) All votes taken during the teleconferenced meeting shall be by rollcall. (m) The state body shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. (n) The portion of the teleconferenced meeting that is closed to the public shall not include the consideration of any agenda item being heard pursuant to Section 11125.5. (o) Upon discovering that a means of remote public access and participation required by subdivision (d) has failed during a meeting and cannot be restored, the state body shall end or adjourn the meeting in accordance with Section 11128.5. In addition to any other requirements that may apply, the state body shall provide notice of the meeting’s end or adjournment on the state body’s internet website and by email to any person who has requested notice of meetings of the state body by email under this article. If the meeting will be adjourned and reconvened on the same day, further notice shall be provided by an automated message on a telephone line posted on the state body’s agenda, internet website, or by a similar means, that will communicate when the state body intends to reconvene the meeting and how a member of the public may hear audio of the meeting or observe the meeting. (p) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2030, and as of that date is repealed. (Amended by Stats. 2025, Ch. 222, Sec. 1. (SB 470) Effective January 1, 2026.

(a) A special meeting may be called at any time by the presiding officer of the state body or by a majority of the members of the state body. A special meeting may only be called for one of the following purposes when compliance with the 10-day notice provisions of Section 11125 would impose a substantial hardship on the state body or when immediate action is required to protect the public interest: (1) To consider “pending litigation” as that term is defined in subdivision (e) of Section 11126. (2) To consider proposed legislation. (3) To consider issuance of a legal opinion. (4) To consider disciplinary action involving a state officer or employee.

The waiver may be given by telegram, facsimile transmission, or similar means. The written notice may also be dispensed with as to any member who is actually present at the meeting at the time it convenes. Notice shall be required pursuant to this section regardless of whether any action is taken at the special meeting. (c) At the commencement of any special meeting, the state body must make a finding in open session that the delay necessitated by providing notice 10 days prior to a meeting as required by Section 11125 would cause a substantial hardship on the body or that immediate action is required to protect the public interest. The finding shall set forth the specific facts that constitute the hardship to the body or the impending harm to the public interest. The finding shall be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the body, or, if less than two-thirds of the members are present, a unanimous vote of those members present. The finding shall be made available on the Internet. Failure to adopt the finding terminates the meeting. (Amended by Stats. 2007, Ch. 92, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2008.)

(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply if the state body utilizes simultaneous translation equipment in a manner that allows the state body to hear the translated public testimony simultaneously. (d) The state body shall not prohibit public criticism of the policies, programs, or services of the state body, or of the acts or omissions of the state body. Nothing in this subdivision shall confer any privilege or protection for expression beyond that otherwise provided by law.

Such an announcement shall be deemed to comply fully with the requirements of this section.
