AB 533: Health care districts: design-build process.

The bill would add a new section to the health and safety code, allowing health care districts to use the design-build process when contracting for hospital or health facility building construction. This expansion would enable more districts to use the design-build procedure, which streamlines the procurement process and reduces costs. However, this change would also require the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs, as mandated by the California Constitution. As a result, no reimbursement would be required for this specific reason.
