	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 860, as introduced, Jones. Public employment: adverse actions.
   Existing law prescribes procedures for taking adverse action
against state employees, other than managerial employees. Existing
law defines "adverse action" for the purposes of those procedures.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 19570 of the Government Code is amended to

adverse action affecting managerial employees subject to Article 2
(commencing with Section 19590), except as provided in Sections
19590.5, 19592, and 19592.2.
