California Public Resources Code Section 5080.20

No contract, including a contract entered into on lands operated pursuant to an agreement entered into under Article 2 (commencing with Section 5080.30), which is expected to involve a total investment or estimated annual gross sales in excess of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), may be advertised for bid, negotiated, renegotiated, or amended in any material respect unless and until all of the following requirements have been complied with: (a) The commission has reviewed the proposed services, facilities, and location of the concession and determined that they meet the requirements of Sections 5001.9 and 5080.03 and are compatible with the classification of the unit in which the concession will be operated. (b) The Legislature has reviewed and approved the proposed concession as part of the annual budget process or the requirements of subdivision (c) have been complied with. No proposed concession shall be submitted for review by the Legislature until the commission has made its determination pursuant to subdivision (a), unless deferring review by the Legislature would be adverse to the interests of the public, in which case the Legislature`s review may precede the commission`s determination. (c) Following enactment of the Budget Bill, the board has determined that the proposed concession could not have been presented to the Legislature for review and approval in the course of its consideration of the Budget Bill, or the proposed concession was reviewed and approved but it is necessary to revise the terms of the invitation to bid or the contract in a material respect, and that it would be adverse to the interests of the public to defer that review and approval to a time when the Legislature next considers a Budget Bill. Upon making that determination, the board may review and approve the proposed concession, or any revision thereof, after giving at least 20 days` written notice to the Chairman of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and to the chairmen of the fiscal and appropriate policy committees of its intended action. All actions taken by the board pursuant to this subdivision shall be reported to the Legislature in the next Governor`s Budget. (d) The proposed concession is accompanied with documentation sufficient to enable the Legislature, the commission, and the board, as the case may be, to ascertain whether the concession will conform to the requirements of this article and, as to the Legislature and the board, to evaluate fully all terms on which the concession is proposed to be let, including the rent and other returns anticipated to be received.
