	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 572, as amended, Price. In-Home Supportive Services
Employer-Employee Relations Act: impasse procedures.
   Existing law, the In-Home Supportive Services Employer-Employee
Relations Act, provides a mechanism for resolving disputes regarding
wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment between
the California In-Home Supportive Services Authority 
(Statewide Authority)  , as specified, and recognized
employee organizations. Under the act, if the parties are unable to
reach a resolution, the authority is authorized to declare an impasse
and implement its last, best, and final offer.
   This bill would authorize the authority to implement any or all of
its last, best, and final offer, provided that the authority would
be required to present the parts of its last, best, and final offer
that conflict with existing law or require  the  expenditure
of  additional  funds to the Legislature for
approval  to be effective  .
   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 110032 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   110032.  After the applicable mediation procedure has been
exhausted, factfinding has been completed and made public, and no
resolution has been reached by the parties, the Statewide Authority
may declare an impasse and implement any or all of its last, best,
and final offer.  A   Any  proposal in the
authority's last, best, and final offer that, if implemented, would
conflict with existing statutes or require the expenditure of
 additional  funds shall be presented to the
Legislature for approval  to be effective  . The
unilateral implementation of the Statewide Authority's last, best,
and final offer shall not deprive a recognized employee organization
of the right each year to meet and confer on matters within the scope
of representation, whether or not those matters are included in the
unilateral implementation, prior to the adoption of the annual budget
or as otherwise required by law.
