Summary

Existing law requires the Department of Personnel Administration to establish and adjust salary ranges for each class of position in the state civil service, subject to specified merit limits. Existing law requires the salary range to be based on the principle that like salaries shall be paid for comparable duties and responsibilities. Existing law allows the state to enter into memoranda of understanding relating to employer-employee relations with employee organizations representing certain state employees. This bill would make findings and declarations regarding the budget deficit facing the state. The bill would, until January 1, 2012, prohibit a person employed by the state whose base salary on or after the effective date of the bill is greater than $150,000 per year from receiving a salary increase while employed in the same position or classification. The bill would exempt from this prohibition a person whose compensation is governed by an operative memorandum of understanding, as described above, a person who has been exempted by Executive order of the Governor, as specified, and a person whose salary is set pursuant to the California Constitution. The bill would require all funds that are saved by the implementation of those provisions to be deposited in an unspecified fund of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The bill would also require those funds to be expended upon appropriation for the purchase and maintenance, the rent, or the lease of high-capacity firefighting airtankers, as defined.
