public postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 686, Pan. Public postsecondary education: Higher Education
Employer-Employee Relations Act.
   Existing law, known as the Higher Education Employer-Employee
Relations Act, contains provisions relating to employer-employee
relations between the state and the employees of state institutions
of higher education, including the University of California and the
California State University, as well as the Hastings College of the
Law. These provisions assign major responsibilities for
implementation to the Public Employment Relations Board. The Higher
Education Employer-Employee Relations Act provides specified rights,
provisions, and definitions for supervisory employees, as defined, of
the University of California and the Hastings College of the Law,
and excludes those employees from the general provisions of the act.
   This bill would provide that the general provisions of the act
apply, instead of the specified rights, provisions, and definitions
for supervisory employees, to supervisory employees who are employed
as sworn peace officers by the University of California or the
Hastings College of the Law, except as specified. The bill would
prohibit supervisory employees who are employed as sworn peace
officers by the University of California or the Hastings College of
the Law from being placed in the same collective bargaining unit as
nonsupervisory employees.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 3581 is added to the Government Code, to read:
   3581.  (a) Except as provided in Section 3580.5 and this section,
this article shall not apply to a supervisory employee, as defined in
Section 3580.3, who is employed as a sworn peace officer by the
University of California or the Hastings College of the Law.
   (b) Supervisory employees described in subdivision (a) shall not
be placed in the same collective bargaining unit as nonsupervisory
employees.
   (c) Except as provided in this section, supervisory employees
described in subdivision (a) shall be subject to all other provisions
of this chapter.
