20665.23. (a) A community college district may utilize job order contracting pursuant to this article only if the community college district has entered into a project labor agreement or agreements that will apply to all public works awarded through job order contracting and to all other public works of the community college district that exceed a monetary threshold set by the community college district until January 1, 2027, regardless of what contracting procedure is used to award that work.
(b) A community college district shall prepare an execution plan for all modernization projects that may be eligible for job order contracting pursuant to this article.

(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply if the job order contract is subject to a project labor agreement that will bind all contractors and subcontractors performing work on the job order contract to use a skilled and trained workforce to perform the job order contract.
