This adds new Public Contract Code, under section 9204. This law requires all the state and local contractors, who have entered into public contracts on or after 1st January, 2017, to submit new procedural requirements for claims on any public work project (Smithcurrie, 2017). This bill was mainly passed because of United Contractor’s support and it was sponsored by David Chiu, the Assemblyman. It has been enacted for the betterment of all the citizens and the workers of construction industry of California. This policy was developed and also implemented by the State government. The Department of Transportation, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Military Department, Department of General Services, Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Water Resources and the High-Speed Rail Authority are not to be included in the “public entity”. The “public work project” refers to building, repair, alteration, erection, improvement of any public structure, construction and other similar work ((Murai, 2017). The claim herein is defined as a “separate demand by contractor sent by a registered or certified mail”. This section would become ineffective after 31st December, 2019 unless it is renewed. Instead of making amendments, the government declared this law as it has new schemes to resolve several issues.

Overall, Bloom’s constituents will receive AB-2844 well. Assemblyman Bloom represents the 50th Assembly District of the State of California. The amended version of AB-2844 does not affect his constituents directly in the way that a bill on road repair would. This means that his constituents will not see the effects of this bill in their daily lives and thus are less likely to have strong opinions on it. Additionally, the amount of money this bill proposes to spend is insignificant when taking into consideration California’s budget, making the fiscal aspect of the bill a non-issue. Furthermore, the current form of this bill prevents public institutions from conducting business with entities that discriminate based on nationality. Majority of

I just received SF 404357A invoice from August, which is now six weeks old. From an accounting perspective, our books have been closed for August and now this will hit October’s budget. Now, I’m going to have to explain to my director again why we’re receiving invoices late and I personally don’t have an answer. I know you have to wait for the vendors to submit their invoice to Corp Essentials, then you have to make sure it’s correct. Again, please reiterate to those partners they must submit the invoice at the end of the month (anything over a month old will not be paid) or they will not be receiving payment.
