Local Agency Public Construction Act: internet website posting.

California Assembly Bill 778 aimed to require local agencies to post information about public construction contracts on an internet website. This would have made it easier for the public to access details about these contracts and promote transparency in local government spending. However, the bill ultimately did not pass.

Supporters of AB 778 would argue that the bill was a step towards increased transparency and accountability in local government. By requiring public construction contract information to be posted online, it would empower citizens to be more informed about how taxpayer money is being spent.

Critics of AB 778 might contend that the bill could create unnecessary bureaucratic burdens for local agencies. They may argue that the requirement to maintain an internet posting could lead to additional costs and complications without significantly improving transparency or oversight.
