Bill	Public contracts: University of California: California State University: domestic workers.	(1) Existing law requires a state agency to comply with specified procedures in awarding agency contracts. Existing law, with specified exceptions, prohibits a state agency authorized to enter into contracts relating to public benefit programs from contracting for services provided by a call center that directly serves applicants for, recipients of, or enrollees in, those public benefit programs with a contractor or subcontractor unless that contractor or subcontractor certifies in its bid for the contract that the contract, and any subcontract performed under that contract, will be performed solely with workers employed in California. Existing law imposes a civil penalty, as provided, for knowingly providing false information in that certification. Existing law also requires the contract to include a clause providing for a right by the state to terminate the contract for noncompliance and specified penalties, if the contractor or subcontractor performs the contract or the subcontract with workers not employed in California during the life of the contract.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 848	California AB 848 (20172018)	bill	Public contracts: University of California: California State University: domestic workers.	enacted	McCarty	10	31	4	2017-02-16	2017-10-15	openstates	ocd-bill/c8f9158f-6010-451c-aac6-524aa0316b41	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB848	0235be91468c1b8ae4a0a6c8eb96160ea6b6954eb228b0c60acff9ed24b0a58f	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
