Section 3.60 of the Budget Act of 2017 is amended to read:

SEC. 3.60.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the employers’ retirement contributions for the 2017–18 fiscal year that are chargeable to any item with respect to each state officer and employee who is a member of the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) or the Judges’ Retirement System II and who is in that employment or office shall be the percentage of salaries and wages by state member category, as follows:

Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................ ~~28.325%~~ 28.423%

California State University, Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................ ~~28.325%~~ 28.423%

Miscellaneous, Second Tier ........................ ~~28.325%~~ 28.423%

State Industrial ........................ ~~19.527%~~ 20.408%

State Safety ........................ ~~19.402%~~ 20.584%

Peace Officer/Firefighter ........................ ~~42.598%~~ 44.245%

California State University, Peace Officer/Firefighter ........................ ~~42.598%~~ 44.245%

Highway Patrol ........................ ~~52.785%~~ 54.104%

Judges’ Retirement System II ........................ 26.409%

The Director of Finance may adjust amounts in any appropriation item, or in any category thereof, as a result of changes from amounts budgeted for employer contributions for 2017–18 fiscal year retirement benefits to achieve the percentages specified in this subdivision. Beginning in the 2013–14 fiscal year, adjustments to the California State University (CSU) rates are applied to the actual pensionable 2013–14 fiscal year payroll, which is $2,307,876,000, as identified by the Controller. This process establishes pension funding adjustments through this section for CSU, as reflected in provisional language in Item 6610-001-0001. This results in pension funding for CSU of $621,483,000 General Fund for the 2016–17 fiscal year. These amounts also will be part of the total appropriation in Item 6610-001-0001 of the Budget Act of 2017.

(b) Notwithstanding any other law, the Director of Finance shall require retirement contributions computed pursuant to subdivision (a) to be offset by the Controller with surplus funds in the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, employer surplus asset accounts.

(c) Notwithstanding any other law, for purposes of calculating the “appropriations subject to limitation” as defined in Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, the appropriations shall be deemed to be the amounts remaining after the adjustments required by subdivisions (a) and (b) are made.

(d) Of the percentage of salaries and wages by state member categories identified in subdivision (a), the following percentages are estimated to be the result of the increased employee contributions pursuant to Chapter 296 of the Statutes of 2012 (AB 340), known as the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013, and will be directed toward the state’s unfunded pension liability:

Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................ 0.098%

California State University, Miscellaneous, First Tier ........................ 0.098%

Miscellaneous, Second Tier ........................ 0.098%

State Industrial ........................ 0.881%

State Safety ........................ 1.182%

Peace Officer/Firefighter ........................ 1.647%

California State University, Peace Officer/Firefighter ........................ 1.647%

Highway Patrol ........................ 1.319%

The contributions to the unfunded liability, as a result of the percentages of salaries and wages in this subdivision, are estimated to be $111,730,000 ($77,707,000 General Fund) for the 2017–18 fiscal year.

(e) The Director of Finance may adjust the percentage levels of the employers’ retirement contributions listed in subdivisions (a) and (d) as a result of rates provided by the Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System. The Director of Finance shall notify the Controller by executive order of adjustments made pursuant to this subdivision. Within 30 days of making an adjustment pursuant to this subdivision, the Director of Finance shall report the adjustment in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations.

(f) (1) In addition to the employers’ retirement contributions listed in subdivisions (a) and (d), the Department of Finance may direct the Controller to transfer up to ~~$427,000,000~~ $146,000,000 from the General Fund to supplement the state’s retirement contributions for the 2017–18 fiscal year.

(2) The Department of Finance shall direct the Controller to transfer the amount specified in paragraph (1) to either of the following:

(A) The Public Employees’ Retirement Fund.

(B) The Surplus Money Investment Fund and other funds in the Pooled Money Investment Account that accrue interest to the General Fund, for repayment of principal and interest of a cash loan that was made to supplement the state’s retirement contributions.

(3) The supplemental payment described in this subdivision is for unfunded liabilities for state-level pension plans in excess of current base amounts for the 2017–18 fiscal year. Therefore, any amount transferred to a fund identified in paragraph (2) constitutes an obligation pursuant to subclause (IV) of clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 20 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.

(4) The Department of Finance shall provide the Controller a schedule of the timing and amounts to be used for purposes of this subdivision.

Section 31.00 of the Budget Act of 2017 is amended to read:

Sec. 31.00.

(a) The appropriations made by this act shall be subject, unless otherwise provided by law, to Section 13320 and Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 13332) of Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, requiring expenditures to be made in accordance with the allotments and other provisions of departmental budgets approved by the Department of Finance.

(b) The departmental budgets shall authorize, in the manner that the Department of Finance shall prescribe, all established positions whose continuance for the year is approved. Authorization by the Department of Finance is required for (1) the reclassification of any position to a monthly maximum salary of ~~$7,551~~ $7,853 or above, regardless of range, (which is equivalent to the monthly maximum salary of the Staff Services Manager II Managerial classification as of July 1, 2017) and (2) the establishment of any new position not (A) specifically identified in the Governor’s Budget and approved by the Legislature or (B) approved by the Legislature and specifically documented in the Final Change Book or enacted legislation.

(c) The Department of Finance shall, for a period of not less than two years, keep and preserve documentation concerning position changes approved as specified in subdivision (b). The Department of Finance may use electronic means to keep and preserve this documentation.

(d) It is the intent of the Legislature that all positions administratively established pursuant to this section that are intended by the administration to be ongoing be submitted to the Legislature for approval through the regular budget process as soon as possible. All positions administratively established pursuant to this section during the 2017–18 fiscal year shall terminate on June 30, 2018, except for those positions that have been (1) approved by the Legislature as part of the regular budget process for the 2018–19 fiscal year as new positions or (2) approved by the Department of Finance after the 2018–19 Governor’s Budget submission to the Legislature and subsequently reported to the Legislature prior to July 1, 2018. The positions identified in (2) above may be reestablished by the Department of Finance during the 2018–19 fiscal year, provided that these positions are shown in the Governor’s Budget for the 2019–20 fiscal year as submitted to the Legislature, and provided that these positions do not result in the reestablishment of positions deleted by the Legislature through the budget process for the 2018–19 fiscal year. The Department of Finance shall provide written notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee within 30 days of the reestablishment of positions approved in the 2018–19 fiscal year pursuant to (2) above.

(e) Moneys appropriated in the 2017–18 fiscal year may be expended for increases in salary ranges or any other employee compensation action only if appropriated for that purpose, or if the Department of Finance certifies to the salary and other compensation-setting authority, prior to the adoption of the action, that funds are available to pay the increased salary or employee compensation resulting from the action. Prior to certification, the Department of Finance shall determine whether the increase in salary range or employee compensation action will require supplemental funding in the 2018–19 fiscal year. If the Department of Finance determines that supplemental funding will be required, the department may certify only if it notifies in writing, at least 30 days before, the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or a lesser time which the chairperson of the joint committee, or his or her designee, determines.

(f) A certification on a payroll claim that expenditures therein are in accordance with current budgetary provisions as approved by the Department of Finance shall be sufficient evidence to the Controller that these expenditures comply with this section.

(g) Requests to continue administratively established positions as ongoing positions pursuant to subdivision (d) shall include information on the date the positions were administratively established. This information shall be included in the administration’s budget change proposals and finance letters. If the administration requests to establish new positions in the 2018–19 fiscal year, and subsequently decides to administratively establish the positions in the 2017–18 fiscal year, the Department of Finance shall provide written notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee within 30 days of the administrative establishment of the positions.

(h) This section applies to all state agencies, departments, boards, bureaus, and commissions.
