	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 537, as introduced, Bonta. Meyers-Milias-Brown Act.
   The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act requires the governing body of a local
public agency to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages,
hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with
representatives of recognized employee organizations. The act
provides that if agreement is reached, the parties shall prepare
jointly a nonbinding written memorandum of understanding of the
agreement that would then be presented to the governing body or its
statutory representative for determination.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
