State employees: memorandum of understanding.

Abstract

Existing law provides that 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. This bill would approve provisions of memoranda of understanding entered into between the state employer and California Correctional Peace Officer Association, State Bargaining Unit 6; California State Law Enforcement Association, State Bargaining Unit 7; Professional Engineers in California Government, State Bargaining Unit 9; International Union of Operating Engineers, State Bargaining Unit 12; Union of American Physicians and Dentists, State Bargaining Unit 16; California Association of Psychiatric Technicians, State Bargaining Unit 18; and American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) , and State Bargaining Unit 19, that require the expenditure of funds, and would provide that these provisions will become effective even if these provisions are approved by the Legislature in legislation other than the annual Budget Act. The bill would provide that provisions of the memorandum of understanding approved by this bill 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. The bill would appropriate funds for expenditure in the 2013–14 fiscal year in augmentation of, and for the purpose of, state employee compensation, as provided in the Budget Act of 2013, in accordance with a specified schedule, from the General Fund, unallocated special funds, and other unallocated nongovernmental cost funds. The bill would also appropriate to the Controller from the General Fund, unallocated special funds, including, but not limited to, federal funds and unallocated nongovernmental cost funds, and any other fund from which state employees are compensated, in the amount necessary for the payment of compensation and employee benefits to state employees for work performed between July 1 and the enactment of the Budget Act in the 2014–15, 2015–16, and 2016–17 fiscal years if the Budget Act is not enacted on or before July 1 in those fiscal years. Existing law provides that the employer contribution for each employee in State Bargaining Units 16 and 19 shall be an amount equal to 85% of the weighted average of the basic health benefit plan premium for an active state civil service employee, as specified. This bill would instead provide that, beginning January 1, 2007, the employer contribution for each employee shall be an amount equal to 80% of the weighted average of the basic health benefit plan premium for an active state civil service employee enrolled for self alone, as specified. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
