California AB393 mandates cost analysis before hiring contractors for physician and psychologist positions.

California AB393 requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the State Department of State Hospitals to analyze costs before hiring contractors for physician and psychologist positions. The analysis must compare the hourly cost of a contractor to a civil service physician or psychologist. If the contractor's cost exceeds that of a civil service employee, the department must use an available civil service employee. The departments must submit an annual report detailing the number of required analyses, contractors employed, and costs.
