	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2225, as amended, Low.  Occupational safety. 
 State employment: State Bargaining Unit 19: memorandum of
understanding.  
   Existing law provides that a provision of a memorandum of
understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized
employee organization representing state civil service employees that
requires the expenditure of funds does not become effective unless
approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.  
   This bill would approve provisions of a memorandum of
understanding entered into between the state employer and State
Bargaining Unit 19 that require the expenditure of funds and would
provide that these provisions will become effective if these
provisions are approved by the Legislature in legislation other than
the annual Budget Act. The bill would provide that provisions of the
memorandum of understanding approved by the bill that require the
expenditure of funds will not take effect unless funds for those
provisions are specifically appropriated by the Legislature, and
would require the state employer and the employee organization to
meet and confer to renegotiate if funds for those provisions are not
specifically appropriated by the Legislature.  
   The California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 provides
the Division of Occupational Safety and Health with all the power,
jurisdiction, and supervision over all employment and places of
employment that is necessary to enforce and administer all
occupational health and safety laws and to protect employees.
 
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this
provision. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes . State-mandated local program: no.
