work to be contracted.  The act also makes personal services
  contracts permissible under other specified conditions,
without regard to cost savings.  The act  also 
requires the board, at the request of an employee organization that
represents state employees, to review the adequacy of a proposed or
executed personal services contract, as specified.

Personnel Board notification provisions, and instead, except as
specified, would  prohibit the execution of  those 
proposed personal services contracts  permissible under
specified conditions, without regard to cost savings,  until the
state agency proposing to execute the contract has 
certified that   notified  all organizations that
represent state employees who perform the type of work to be 
contracted have been notified.   contracted.  The
bill would require the Department of General Services to establish
