Under existing law, the Division of Construction Management within the Department of Finance reviews contracts and inspects for code compliance during certain construction projects at certain educational institutions.
Existing law exempts public K-12 schools and four-year universities with a contitutionally created board of trustees conducting certain capital improvement projects valued under $500,000 from approval by the division.
This bill would extend that exemption to any K-12 school or four-year university undertaking improvements valued under $500,000 from approval by the division, but would require inspection of exempted improvements by the division and issuance of recommendations to the school or university by the division relating to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire safety or life safety issues.
This bill would also amend the reporting requirements for the Division of Construction Management for each project undertaken at any K-12 school.
This bill would provide a limited exception for ongoing projects.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
