Article 7. Contract Uniformity of California Health And Safety Code >> Division 101. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 7.

It is the Legislature's intent in enacting this article to promote efficiency in the administration of multiple contracts between nonprofit organizations and the divisions of the department by requiring uniform provisions concerning fringe benefits. Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to mandate any personnel policies, procedures, or fringe benefits as a condition of contracting with the state. In addition, this article shall not supersede or amend any agreement that may have been entered into, or may be entered into in the future, between a nonprofit corporation and its employees, agents, or employee representative organization.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the department shall review the following categorical programs and develop a procedure by which a contracting nonprofit organization is notified at the execution of a contract of the terms and conditions relating to the allowable costs associated with personnel, primary care grants-in-aid, maternal and child health, family planning, women, infant and children, dental disease prevention, child health and disability prevention, California children's services, preventive health care for the aging, rural health services, farmworker health services, California health services corps, American Indian health services, genetically handicapped programs, hypertension, perinatal health services, immunization, adolescent family life, and other programs that the department wishes to include within the scope of this article.

Nothing contained in this article shall conflict with any mandate imposed by laws or regulations of the state or federal government.

The department shall take the steps necessary to achieve uniformity among contracts.
