Summary

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. Existing law requires the Department of Human Resources to provide a memorandum of understanding to the Legislative Analyst who then has 10 calendar days from the date the tentative agreement is received to issue a fiscal analysis to the Legislature. Existing law prohibits the memorandum of understanding from being subject to legislative determination until either the Legislative Analyst has presented a fiscal analysis of the memorandum of understanding or until 10 calendar days has elapsed since the memorandum was received by the Legislative Analyst. This bill, notwithstanding the above statutory provisions, would approve provisions of agreements entered into between the state employer and State Bargaining Units 5, 6, 7, and 8. The bill would provide that the provisions of the addenda or memorandum of understanding that require the expenditure of funds will not take effect unless funds for these provisions are specifically appropriated by the Legislature. The bill would authorize the state employer or these state bargaining units to reopen negotiations if funds for these provisions are not specifically appropriated by the Legislature. The bill would require the provisions of the agreements that require the expenditure of funds to become effective even if the provisions are approved by the Legislature in legislation other than the annual Budget Act. This bill would appropriate the sum of $79,403,000 for State Bargaining Units 5, 6, 7, 8, and all employees excluded from collective bargaining, for the purpose of state employee compensation, as provided in specified items of the Budget Act of 2022, in accordance with a specified schedule. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
