                                 Jim Frazier, Chair
                 SB 1206 (Evans) - As Introduced:  February 20, 2014

           SENATE VOTE  :   35-0
           
          SUBJECT  :   State Personnel Board: administrative regulations

           SUMMARY  :   Makes technical changes to statute governing the  
          State Personnel Board's (SPB) rulemaking authority by updating  
          references to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).   
          Specifically,  this bill  :

          1)Eliminates obsolete code section references to subject matters  
            that were transferred to the California Department of Human  
            Resources (CalHR) and the Department of Fair Employment and  
            Housing (DFEH).

          2)Clarifies the subject matter under SPB's purview that is not  
            exempt from APA provisions.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.

           COMMENTS  :   The SPB, the sponsor of this bill, states that this  
          is a necessary technical clean-up measure to reflect the  
          Governor's Reorganization Plan Number One of 2011 (GRP 1).  GRP  
          1 shifted responsibility for the state's equal employment  
          opportunity program from SPB to CalHR.  This bill, therefore,  
          deletes references to the SPB in the Government Code sections  
          related to the state's equal employment opportunity program.
