           SUMMARY  :   Specifically,  this bill  ratifies the provisions of a  
          memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the state and state  
          bargaining unit (BU) 9, Professional Engineers, represented  
          exclusively by the Professional Engineers in California  
          Government.

           EXISTING LAW  requires, under the State Employee-Employer  
          Relations Act (the Dills Act), collective bargaining agreements  
          (MOUs) that are negotiated between the state and exclusive  
          representatives of each of the 21 state bargaining units be  
          ratified by the Legislature.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   According to the Assembly Appropriations  
          Committee, this fiscal impact will depend on the terms of any  
          agreement reached between the state and representatives of BU 9.

           COMMENTS  :   This is a spot bill that will be used to approve the  
          final collective bargaining agreement reached this year between  
          the state and BU 9.  The current MOU expired July 2, 2008.
