Bill	Small Business Procurement and Contract Act: small business.	The Small Business Procurement and Contract Act requires the Director of General Services and the heads of other state agencies that enter into contracts for the acquisition of goods, services, and information technology and for the construction of state facilities to establish goals for the participation of small businesses and microbusinesses in these contracts, to provide for a small business preference in the award of these contracts, to give special consideration and special assistance to small businesses, and, whenever possible, to make awards to small businesses, as specified. Existing law defines a "small business" for these purposes as, among other things, an independently owned and operated business that is not dominant in its field of operation that has average annual gross receipts of $10 million, as may be adjusted to reflect changes in the California Consumer Price Index, or less over the previous 3 years. Existing law defines a "microbusiness" as a small business which, together with affiliates, has average annual gross receipts of $2.5 million, as may be adjusted to reflect changes in the California Consumer Price Index, or less over the previous 3 years. Existing law requires the director to conduct a biennial review of those average annual gross receipt levels and authorizes the director to adjust the average annual gross receipts threshold to reflect changes in the California Consumer Price Index for all items. Existing law requires a contractor requesting a small business or microbusiness preference to do so under penalty of perjury.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	SB 605	California SB 605 (20172018)	bill	Small Business Procurement and Contract Act: small business.	enacted	Galgiani	6	29	6	2017-02-17	2017-10-11	openstates	ocd-bill/2674a048-85b6-4e79-aae2-0aa5cc835ff6	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB605	6004f3d281cc671b4b24a0fe975d880697f0f12e21ffa4bb84f933f8ffe13028	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
