CA SB790

Any executed contract for the purchase of goods or services by a state or local agency, including price and terms of payment, is a public record subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act.

Any provision in a written agreement that attempts to classify such contracts as confidential or proprietary vendor records is void and unenforceable as a matter of law.

The bill does not require disclosure of records that are otherwise exempt from disclosure or prohibited by federal or state law.

The Legislature finds the bill furthers public access to information concerning executed contracts by state and local agencies, consistent with California Constitutional requirements.

No state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts under this act because compliance falls within constitutional public records access mandates.
