	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Evans

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2012

   An act to amend Section 19829.5 of the Government Code, relating
to memoranda of understanding.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1113, as introduced, Evans. Memoranda of understanding: fiscal
analysis.
    Under the Ralph C. Dills Act, a provision of a memorandum of
understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized
employee organization representing state civil service employees that
requires the expenditure of funds does not become effective unless
approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. Existing law
provides that the Legislative Analyst has 10 calendar days from the
date the tentative agreement is received to issue a fiscal analysis
to the Legislature. Existing law provides that the memorandum of
understanding is not subject to legislative determination until
either the Legislative Analyst has presented a fiscal analysis of the
memorandum to the Legislature or until 10 calendar days have elapsed
since the memorandum was received by the Legislative Analyst.
Existing law requires each memorandum of understanding submitted by
the Department of Personnel Administration to the Legislative Analyst
to include the department's analysis of costs and savings.
   Existing law establishes the Department of Personnel
Administration for purposes of managing the nonmerit aspects of the
state's personnel system. The 2011 Governor's Reorganization Plan for
state human resources functions abolishes the Department of
Personnel Administration, and transfers the functions and duties
performed by the Department of Personnel Administration to the
Department of Human Resources.
   This bill would require the Department of Human Resources, for
each memorandum of understanding submitted to the Legislative
Analyst, to include within the analysis of savings and costs, the
financial obligation that would be required to address salary
compaction and parity concerns for excluded employees related to the
bargaining unit as a result of the memorandum. The bill would make
conforming changes consistent with the 2011 Governor's Reorganization
Plan for state human resources.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
