	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1288, as introduced, Huff. State public employment: memoranda
of understanding: legislative approval.
   Existing law generally grants state employees have the right to
form, join, and participate in the activities of employee
organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation
on all matters of employer-employee relations. Existing law requires
the Governor, or his or her representative, to meet and confer in
good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of
employment with representatives of recognized employee organizations.
Existing law requires the Governor and a recognized employee
organization, if agreement is reached, to jointly prepare a written
memorandum of understanding that, if appropriate, shall be presented
to the Legislature for approval.
   This bill would prohibit a bill presented to the Legislature for
approval of a memorandum of understanding from providing for the
approval of more than one memorandum of understanding.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

read:
   3517.55.  A bill presented to the Legislature for the approval of
