SUMMARY
This is a spot bill that ratifies the provisions an of as yet
unspecified addenda to a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
between the state and a state bargaining unit.
FISCAL EFFECT
Unknown, the fiscal effect will depend on the side letters,
appendix or other addendums to ratified MOUs approved by the
Legislature.
COMMENTS
Background. The Dills Act governs collective bargaining for
state employees. The Dills Act establishes a process for
determining wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment
for rank and file and supervisory employees. Under the Dills
Act, MOUs negotiated between the state and exclusive
representatives of each of the 21 state bargaining units must be
ratified by the Legislature.
The Department of Personnel Administration provides the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) with each side letter,
appendix or other addendum to a ratified MOU that requires the
expenditure of $250,000 or more and is not included in the
Budget Act. The JLBC has 30 days to determine if legislative
ratification is required. If the JLBC determines that a
submission requires legislative approval this bill is available
to be the vehicle for gaining legislative approval.
