Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Existing law, the County Transportation Commissions Act, creates the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and authorizes the authority to enter into contracts pertaining to transportation services. The act prohibits a member, alternate member, or employee of the authority who has participated as a decisionmaker in the preparation, evaluation, award, or implementation of a contract and who leaves the authority from accepting, within 3 years of leaving the authority, employment with any company, vendor, or business entity that was awarded a contract as a result of his or her participation, evaluation, award, or implementation of that contract. This bill would instead prohibit a member, alternate member, or employee of the authority who has participated as a decisionmaker in the preparation, evaluation, award, or implementation of a contract and who leaves the authority from accepting, within one year of leaving the authority, employment with any company, vendor, or business entity that was awarded a contract as a result of his or her participation, evaluation, award, or implementation of that contract, if that participation took place within one year prior to the member, alternate member, or employee leaving the authority.
