BILL ANALYSIS Ó SB 1206 Page 1 Date of Hearing: July 2, 2014 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS Mike Gatto, Chair SB 1206 (Evans) - As Introduced: February 20, 2014 Policy Committee: Accountability and Administrative Review Vote: 13 - 0 Urgency: No State Mandated Local Program: No Reimbursable: SUMMARY This bill makes technical changes to the State Personnel Board's rulemaking authority by updating references to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Specifically, this bill: 1)Eliminates obsolete code section references to subject matters that were transferred to the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) and the Department of Fair Employment and Housing. 2)Clarifies the subject matter under State Personnel Board's purview that is not exempt from APA provisions. FISCAL EFFECT Negligible state fiscal impact. COMMENTS The State Personnel Board, sponsor of this bill, states that this is a technical clean-up measure to reflect the Governor's Reorganization Plan Number One of 2011 (GRP 1). GRP 1 shifted responsibility for the state's equal employment opportunity program from the State Personnel Board to CalHR. This bill deletes references to the State Personnel Board in the Government Code sections related to the state's equal employment opportunity program.
