          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill  
          Summary: AB 874 would provide collective bargaining rights to  
          Judicial Council employees who are exempt from state civil  
          service by making the Ralph C. Dills Act (Dills Act) applicable  
          to specified, judicial branch employees.  


          Fiscal  
             Impact:     
                 Annual General Fund costs in the low hundreds of  
               thousands of dollars annually to Judicial Council to  
               establish and maintain labor and employee relations  
               functions.

                 To the extent that the bill results in salary or  
               benefits increase resulting from collective bargaining, the  
               bill could result in unknown increased ongoing employment  
               costs. 





          Author  
          Amendments: Make clarifying changes and specify that the bill  
          would apply to part time employees.
