California SB1223 prohibits fairs from limiting bidding on live performance contracts to a single bidder.

California SB1223 amends the Food and Agricultural Code to add Section 3107, which mandates that fairs cannot issue invitations to bid or requests for proposals in a way that restricts bidding to a single bidder for live performance contracts. Any contract awarded in violation of this provision is declared void. The term "fair" is defined as per Sections 3101, 3102, 3103, or 3104. This rule does not apply in emergencies as defined in Section 1102 of the Public Contract Code, where immediate action is necessary for public health, welfare, safety, or property protection.
