   An act relating to state employees.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2665, as introduced, Committee on Public Employees, Retirement
and Social Security. State employees: memoranda of understanding:
addenda.
   Existing law establishes procedures governing the approval of
memoranda of understanding reached between the state employer and
state bargaining units that require the expenditure of funds,
including the approval of related side letters, appendices, or other
addenda to memoranda of understanding that require the expenditure of
funds.
   This bill would approve provisions of unspecified addenda to
memoranda of understanding entered into between the state employer
and state bargaining units that require the expenditure of funds. The
bill would specify that provisions of the addenda to memoranda of
understanding that require the expenditure of funds will not take
effect unless funds for those provisions are specifically
appropriated by the Legislature, and would require the state employer
and the affected employee organization to meet and confer to
renegotiate the affected provisions if funds for those provisions are
not specifically appropriated by the Legislature.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
