THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Notwithstanding Section 44929.21 of the Education Code or any other law, the San Jose Unified School District was, and is, authorized to enter into, and execute the provisions of, the collective bargaining agreement between that district and the San Jose Teachers Association for the term of July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2016, inclusive, which was ratified by the governing board of the San Jose Unified School District on May 23, 2013. SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique labor relations situation in the San Jose Unified School District stemming from the collective bargaining agreement entered into between that district and the San Jose Teachers Association in 2013. The enactment of Section 1 of this act as a special law applicable to the San Jose Unified School District is therefore necessary.SECTION 1.Chapter 17 (commencing with Section 67420) is added to Part 40 of Division 5 of Title 3 of the Education Code, to read: CHAPTER 17.
