	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Torres

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2010

   An act to amend Section 3102 of the Government Code, relating to
public employment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2151, as introduced, Torres. Public employment: disaster
service workers: oath or affirmation of allegiance.
   Existing law requires all disaster service workers to, before they
enter upon the duties of their employment, take and subscribe to an
oath or affirmation, as specified. Existing law authorizes, in the
case of intermittent, temporary, emergency or successive employments
and in the discretion of the employing agency, the taking and
subscribing of that oath to be effective for all successive periods
of employment which commence within one calendar year from the date
of that subscription. Notwithstanding that provision, the oath taken
and subscribed by a person who is a member of an emergency
organization sanctioned by a state agency or an accredited disaster
council, whose members are duly enrolled or registered with the
Office of Emergency Services, or any accredited disaster council of
any political subdivision, is effective for the period the person
remains a member with that organization.
   Existing law requires the term "Office of Emergency Services" to
be construed to refer to the California Emergency Management Agency
whenever it appears in any statute, regulation, or contract, unless
the context clearly requires otherwise.
   This bill would replace the term "Office of Emergency Services"
with the term "California Emergency Management Agency" in the above
described provision pertaining to oaths.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

year from the date of that subscription.
   (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), the oath taken and subscribed

by a state agency or an accredited disaster council, whose members
are duly enrolled or registered with the  Office of Emergency
Services   California Emergency Management Agency
