INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Nestande

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to add Section 92612.5 to the Education Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1180, as introduced, Nestande. University of California:
employee compensation: report.
   Existing law establishes the Regents of the University of
California and provides for the administration of the university by
the regents. Existing law authorizes the regents to meet in closed
session for certain purposes, including to consider or discuss
matters concerning the appointment, employment, performance, or
dismissal of university officers or employees, excluding individual
regents other than the president of the university. However, existing
law requires that action taken by a committee of the regents, and
final action by the full board of regents, on a proposal for the
compensation package of specified executive officers occur in an open
session of each of those bodies and include a disclosure of the
compensation package and rationale for the action.
   This bill would require the regents, on or before July 1 of each
year, to submit a report to the Legislature describing expenditures
on compensation packages and retirement benefits for employees and
officers of the university and identifying the sources of funds for
those exepnditures. The bill would express the intent of the
Legislature that the appropriate policy committee of the Assembly or
the Senate, or both, hold a hearing each year regarding the report.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
