	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2377, as introduced, Committee on Public Employees, Retirement,
and Social Security. State employees: memorandum of understanding.
   Existing law provides that a provision of a memorandum of
understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized
employee organization representing state civil service employees that
requires the expenditure of funds does not become effective unless
approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
   This bill would approve provisions of a memorandum of
understanding entered into between the state employer and an
unspecified bargaining unit that require the expenditure of funds,
and would provide that these provisions will become effective even if
these provisions are approved by the Legislature in legislation
other than the annual Budget Act.
   The bill would provide that provisions of the memorandum of
understanding approved by this bill that require the expenditure of
funds will not take effect unless funds for those provisions are
specifically appropriated by the Legislature, and would require the
state employer and the affected employee organization to meet and
confer to renegotiate the affected provisions if funds for those
provisions are not specifically appropriated by the Legislature.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

  SECTION 1.  The Legislature finds and declares that the purpose of
this act is to approve an agreement entered into by the state

  SEC. 2.  The provisions of the memorandum of understanding prepared
pursuant to Section 3517.5 of the Government Code and entered into

purposes of subdivision (b) of Section 3517.6 of the Government Code.

  SEC. 3.  The provisions of the memorandum of understanding approved
by Section 2 of this act that require the expenditure of funds shall
not take effect unless funds for these provisions are specifically

and the affected employee organization shall meet and confer to
renegotiate the affected provisions.
  SEC. 4.  Notwithstanding Section 3517.6 of the Government Code, the
provisions of the memorandum of understanding included in Section 2
of this act 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.
