S.B. No. 925 amends the Education Code and Government Code to establish regulations regarding agreements with collective bargaining organizations in relation to publicly funded public work contracts. The bill defines "collective bargaining organization," "federal match program," and "governmentally administered financial assistance," providing clarity on the terms used in the context of public work contracts. It prohibits institutions and governmental entities from discriminating against or giving preference to bidders based on their involvement with collective bargaining organizations, ensuring that contractors and subcontractors can freely enter into agreements without fear of repercussions.

The changes introduced by this bill will only apply to public work contracts for which solicitations are published or distributed on or after the effective date of September 1, 2025. Contracts initiated before this date will continue to be governed by the existing laws. This legislation aims to promote fair bidding practices and protect the rights of workers and organizations involved in collective bargaining for publicly funded projects.
