LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 839, Maldonado. State employees: memorandum of understanding.
Existing law provides that if any provision of a memorandum of understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized employee organization representing state civil service employees requires the expenditure of funds, those provisions of the memorandum of understanding shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
This bill would approve provisions that require the expenditure of funds of a memorandum of understanding entered into between the state employer and a specified employee organization, and would provide that the provisions of any memorandum of understanding that require the expenditure of funds shall become effective even if the provisions of the memorandum of understanding are approved by the Legislature in legislation other than the annual Budget Act. The bill would also declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

SEC. 2.

 Notwithstanding Section 3517.6 of the Government Code, the provisions of any memorandum of understanding that require the expenditure of funds shall become effective even if the provisions of the memorandum of understanding are approved by the Legislature in legislation other than the annual Budget Act.

SEC. 3.

 This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order for the provisions of this act to be applicable as soon as possible in the 1999–2000 fiscal year, and so facilitate the orderly administration of state government at the earliest possible time, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
