This is a California Civil Rights Laws Certification form issued by the Department of General Services Office of Legal Services for use with state contracts valued at $100,000 or above. The certification document requires contractors submitting bids or proposals for state agency contracts executed or renewed after January 1, 2017, to affirm compliance with two key California civil rights statutes: the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civil Code Section 51) and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Government Code Section 12960). Additionally, contractors must certify that any internal policies regarding sovereign nations or peoples recognized by the U.S. government are not applied in violation of these two civil rights laws. The document serves as a mandatory attestation requirement that must be completed and signed under penalty of perjury by an authorized representative of the proposing or bidding firm, along with the contractor's federal identification number and execution details including county, state, and date.

The certification applies to the related contract opportunity for Temporary Relief Services (Licensed Vocational Nurses, Certified Nurse Assistants, and Registered Nurses) at the Veterans Home of California - Chula Vista. As a state contract, this solicitation requires all prospective bidders to complete and submit the civil rights certification concurrent with their bid or proposal. Version 2 of the solicitation corrects the submission due date and mandates attendance at a walkthrough conference. No specific pricing, contract term, or renewal information is detailed in the certification form itself, as it functions solely as a compliance verification document required at the time of bid submission.
