SB 967 (Correa) Bidding Preference

Fresno Chamber Position: OPPOSE
 

Gives a preference to bidders on state contracts who commit that 90 percent of the work will be performed by California employees. The Chamber opposes this proposal because protectionism practices limit choice and drive up prices for consumers and for the state. Furthermore, protectionist legislation causes a net loss of jobs in related industries, retaliation by our trading partners, and violates provisions of the World Trade Organization, as well as, bilateral free trade agreements.
