Summary
Provides that any executed contract for the purchase of goods or services by a State or local agency, including the price and terms of payment, is a public record subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act. The bill provides that any provision in a written agreement that purports to exclude a contract, as specified above, from disclosure by agreeing to consider it a confidential or proprietary record of the vendor is void and unenforceable as a matter of law.
