STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 09770
Any public works construction project over $5,000 requires the
contractor to have a public works license.
The purpose of this bill is to change the limit to projects
over $10,000. The proposed limit of $10,000 simply reflects
inflation over the past 20 years. The last time the limit was
adjusted was 1980, when the limit went from $1,000 to $5,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no fiscal impact to the state general fund. There
could be modest savings to cities by having more competition for
public works projects.
