Public contracts: California State University: service contracts: foreign countries.

Existing law establishes the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University. Existing law, known as the California State University Contract Law sets forth a process through which contracts for projects, as defined, that are entered into with respect to the California State University may be competitively bid, entered into, and executed. This bill would authorize the trustees to enter into a contract with the government of a foreign country to provide the services of California State University staff or personnel in that foreign country.
