BILL NUMBER: SB 623	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Ashburn

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to amend Sections 18530 and 19080.3 of the Government Code,
relating to civil service appointments.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 623, as introduced, Ashburn. Civil service appointments:
limited term appointments.
   Existing law authorizes an appointing power to make a limited term
appointment to fill temporary staffing needs. Existing law defines a
limited term employee as an employee whose appointment as a result
of reinstatement or certification from an employment list shall not
exceed 2 years. Existing law prohibits limited term appointments from
individually or consecutively exceeding one year, except that the
State Personnel Board may authorize limited term appointments of up
to a total of 2 years' duration when a permanent appointment would be
likely to cause a layoff, demotion, or mandatory transfer requiring
a change of residence upon the conclusion of the temporary staffing
need. Existing law authorizes limited term appointments to be
extended within the time limits prescribed by those provisions
without making an additional appointment.
   This bill would instead prohibit limited term appointments from
individually or consecutively exceeding one year except that the
board would be authorized to make an extension up to 2 years without
making an additional appointment if a permanent appointment would be
likely to cause a layoff, demotion, or mandatory transfer requiring a
change of residence upon the conclusion of the temporary staffing
need. The board would also be authorized to make an extension more
than 2 years without making an additional appointment if needed due
to funding exceeding 2 years, to retain the expertise of the
incumbent to complete project work that is still in progress, or to
prevent the disruption of state operations.
   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 18530 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   18530.  "Limited term employee" means an employee whose
appointment as a result of reinstatement or certification from an
employment list shall not exceed two years,  except  as
specified by Section 19080.3.
  SEC. 2.  Section 19080.3 of the Government Code is amended to read:

   19080.3.   (a)    Limited term appointments
shall be made only for temporary staffing needs and shall not
individually or consecutively exceed one year,  provided that
the board may authorize limited term appointments of up to a total
of two years' duration when a permanent appointment would be likely
to cause a layoff, demotion, or mandatory transfer requiring a change
of residence upon the conclusion of the temporary staffing need.
Limited term appointments may be extended within the time limits
prescribed by this section without making an additional appointment
  except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b) or (c)
 . 
   (b) The board may authorize limited term appointments of up to a
total of two years without making an additional appointment if a
permanent appointment would be likely to cause a layoff, demotion, or
mandatory transfer requiring a change of residence upon the
conclusion of the temporary staffing need.  
   (c) The board may authorize limited term appointments for more
than two years without making an additional appointment if the
extension is needed because the funding exceeds two years, or to
retain the expertise of the current incumbent to complete project
work that is still in progress, or to prevent the disruption of state
operations.
