LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 596, as introduced, Cedillo. State employees: 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 the
California Correctional Peace Officers Association that require the
expenditure of funds, and would provide that these provisions will
become effective even 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 this 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 affected employee organization to meet and
confer to renegotiate the affected provisions if funds for those
provisions are not specifically appropriated by the Legislature.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
