INTRODUCED BY   Senator Evans

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2012

   An act to amend Section 19829.5 of the Government Code, relating
to memoranda of understanding.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1113, as amended, Evans. Memoranda of understanding: fiscal
analysis.
    Under the Ralph C. Dills Act, a provision of a memorandum of
understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized
employee organization representing state civil service employees that
requires the expenditure of funds does not become effective unless
approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. Existing law
provides that the Legislative Analyst has 10 calendar days from the
date the tentative agreement is received to issue a fiscal analysis
to the Legislature. Existing law provides that the memorandum of
understanding is not subject to legislative determination until
either the Legislative Analyst has presented a fiscal analysis of the
memorandum to the Legislature or until 10 calendar days have elapsed
since the memorandum was received by the Legislative Analyst.
Existing law requires each memorandum of understanding submitted by
the Department of Personnel Administration to the Legislative Analyst
to include the department's analysis of costs and savings.
   Existing law establishes the Department of Personnel
Administration for purposes of managing the nonmerit aspects of the
state's personnel system. The 2011 Governor's Reorganization Plan for
state human resources functions abolishes the Department of
Personnel Administration, and transfers the functions and duties
performed by the Department of Personnel Administration to the
Department of Human Resources.
   This bill would require the Department of Human Resources, for
each memorandum of understanding submitted to the Legislative
Analyst, to include within the analysis of savings and costs, the
financial obligation that would be required  to address
salary compaction and parity concerns  for excluded
employees related to the bargaining unit as a result of the
memorandum. The bill would make conforming changes consistent with
the 2011 Governor's Reorganization Plan for state human resources.
   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 19829.5 of the Government Code is amended to

Legislature. The Legislative Analyst may prioritize the preparation
of a fiscal analysis or report under this subdivision among other
workload, including the submission of multiple memoranda of
understanding. The memorandum of understanding shall not be subject
to legislative determination until either the Legislative Analyst has
presented a fiscal analysis of the memorandum of understanding or
until 10 calendar days has elapsed since the memorandum was received
by the Legislative Analyst.
   (b) Each memorandum of understanding submitted by the department
to the Legislative Analyst shall include the department's analysis of
savings and costs, including the financial obligation that would be
required  to address salary compaction and parity concerns
