§ 14651 Department Powers Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •The Department of General Services takes over the jobs and responsibilities that used to belong to the Division of Architecture, the State Architect, or the Department of Transportation.
  • •This includes tasks related to certain parts of the Education Code, like Sections 15543, 16008, and 90106.
  • •It means that if you had to go to the Division of Architecture or the State Architect for something before, you might now need to go to the Department of General Services instead.

Example

If a school needs approval for a new building design, they used to go to the State Architect.

Now, because of this law, they would go to the Department of General Services instead to get that approval.
