           SUMMARY  :   Ratifies the provisions of a memorandum of  
          understanding (MOU) between the state and state bargaining unit  
          (BU) 19, Health and Social Services/Professional, represented  
          exclusively by the American Federation of State, County and  
          Municipal Employees.  

           EXISTING LAW  requires, under the State Employee-Employer  
          Relations Act (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, fiscal impact will depend on the terms of any  
          agreement reached between the state and representatives of BU  
          19.

           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 19.  The current MOU expired June 30, 2008.
