LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2305, Rodriguez.
Public employment: collective bargaining: peace officers.
Existing law establishes the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) in state government as a means of resolving disputes and enforcing the statutory duties and rights of employers and employees under the Educational Employment Relations Act, the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act, the Ralph C. Dills Act, and the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. Existing law includes within PERB’s jurisdiction resolving disputes alleging violation of rules and regulations adopted by a public agency, as defined, concerning unit determinations, representations, recognition, and elections, as specified.
Existing law requires bargaining unit determinations and representation elections to be determined and processed in accordance with rules adopted by a public agency, as specified. Existing law requires, in a representation election, a majority of the votes cast
by the employees in the appropriate bargaining unit.
Existing law requires PERB to enforce and apply rules adopted by a public agency concerning unit determinations, representation, recognition, and elections. Existing law also requires specified complaints to be processed as an unfair practice charge by PERB.
Existing law does not apply the above provisions to persons who are peace officers, as defined. Existing law excepts employers and employees under the jurisdiction of the employee relations commissions in the County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles from the application of the above provisions.
This bill would specify that these provisions do not apply to disputes between a public agency and persons who are peace officers, but do apply to disputes between a public agency and peace officer employee organizations, regardless of whether the charging party or responding
party is the individual peace officer, the peace officer employee organization, or the public agency.
