CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 28

Introduced by Senator Pan

December 05, 2016

An act relating to state employment.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 28, as introduced, Pan. State employment: State Bargaining Units 1, 3, 4, 11, 14, 15, 17, 20, and 21: 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 Units 1, 3, 4, 11, 14, 15, 17, 20, and 21, which are represented by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), 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.
