	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Salas

                        FEBRUARY 26, 2015

   An act to amend Section 19635 of the Government Code, relating to
public employment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 811, as introduced, Salas. Public employees: rights.
   Existing law requires notice of any adverse action against any
state employee for any cause for discipline based on any civil
service law to be served within 3 years after the cause for
discipline, upon which the notice is based, first arose. Existing law
provides that an adverse action based on fraud, embezzlement, or the
falsification of records is valid if notice of the adverse action is
served within 3 years after the discovery of the fraud,
embezzlement, or falsification.
   This bill would reduce those timeframes to one year.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 19635 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   19635.  No adverse action shall be valid against any state
employee for any cause for discipline based on any civil service law
of this state, unless notice of the adverse action is served within
 three years   one year  after the cause
for discipline, upon which the notice is based, first arose. Adverse
action based on fraud, embezzlement, or the falsification of records
shall be valid, if notice of the adverse action is served within
 three years   one year  after the
discovery of the fraud, embezzlement, or falsification.
