SB 1246 permits contracting parties of an intergovernmental agreement [IGA] to form a separate legal entity to perform services and expands information included in an intergovernmental agreement.

History

Current law allows authorized public agencies to enter into intergovernmental agreements [IGAs] for contracting services or jointly exercising common powers. Each IGA must specify the duration and purpose of the contract or agreement, the manner of financing the joint undertaking and budget information, and the permissible methods used for terminating the contract or agreement. SB 1246 allows the formation of a separate entity and requires prescribed information be included in the contract or agreement when applicable.

Provisions

· Permits contracting parties of an IGA to form a separate legal entity, including a nonprofit corporation, to contract for or perform services as specified in the IGA.

· Allows the separate entity to exercise powers that are jointly held by the contracting parties.

· Requires the precise organization, composition, title and nature of a separate entity be included in the contract or agreement.
