Under existing law, the department of personnel administers the 'state procurement equity program', which includes a bond assistance program to help historically underutilized businesses that are small businesses offset the costs of obtaining a surety bond that is required for a solicitation for a state procurement opportunity. The bond assistance program is funded through the bond assistance program cash fund. The act transfers the unexpended and unencumbered balance of the bond assistance program cash fund to the general fund on June 30, 2026. The department must use any encumbered balance that remains in the fund after the transfer only to fulfill the obligations encumbering the balance of the fund. The act repeals the bond assistance program, effective December 1, 2027.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
