LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2665, as introduced, Committee on Public Employees, Retirement and Social Security. State employees: memoranda of understanding: addenda. Existing law establishes procedures governing the approval of memoranda of understanding reached between the state employer and state bargaining units that require the expenditure of funds, including the approval of related side letters, appendices, or other addenda to memoranda of understanding that require the expenditure of funds. This bill would approve provisions of unspecified addenda to memoranda of understanding entered into between the state employer and state bargaining units that require the expenditure of funds. The bill would specify that provisions of the addenda to memoranda of understanding 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. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
