SB 967 – Public Contracts Preference

Fresno Chamber Position: OPPOSE
 

SB 967 – This legislation provides bid preferences for bidders who commit that 90 percent of the work will be performed by California employees. This will reduce competition, resulting in less choice and higher prices. Another potential result of this protectionism legislation is retaliation from other states and international trade partners. This practice creates a patchwork of reciprocity and retaliation that makes it difficult for businesses to offer their goods and services in states other than California.
