Summary

Existing law provides protections for members of the National Guard ordered into active state service by the Governor or active federal service by the President of the United States for emergency purposes, and for reservists called to active duty, as specified. Existing law provides protections for these persons during their period of military service with respect to their private employment rights upon return from service, and requires the district attorney of the county in which an employer maintains a place of business to act as an attorney on behalf of a service member in any action, as specified, against an employer who fails or refuses to comply with those provisions, if the district attorney is reasonably satisfied that the person is entitled to these benefits. This bill would reorganize these provisions, and would extend these protections to members of the National Guard of other states who are called to military service by their respective Governors or by the President of the United States, and who have left a position in private employment in California. Because this bill would expand the duties of district attorneys, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
