           COMMENTS  

           1)Purpose  .  This is a spot bill that will be used to approve the  
            final collective bargaining agreement reached this year  
            between the state and BU 6.  This bill has an urgency clause  
            so it will be applicable as soon as possible in the 2012-13  
            fiscal year.  The current MOU will expire July 1, 2013.  This  
            bill is sponsored by the California Correctional Peace  
            Officers Association, who is the exclusive representative of  
            BU 6.

           2)Background  .  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.
