State employees: memoranda of understanding.

Existing law requires the Department of Human Resources to provide to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee any side letter, appendix, or other addendum to a properly ratified memorandum of understanding that requires the expenditure of $250,000 or more related to salary and benefits and that is not already contained in the original memorandum of understanding or the Budget Act. Existing law requires the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, within 30 days after receiving the side letter, appendix, or other addendum, to determine if the addendum presents substantial additions that are not reasonably within the parameters of the original memorandum of understanding and thereby requires legislative action to ratify the addendum. This bill would approve the addenda to memoranda of understanding entered into by the state employer and certain bargaining units that require the expenditure of funds, as specified, and would further appropriate $45,115,000 from the General Fund and other unallocated nongovernmental cost funds for those purposes. The bill would also approve a calculation of final compensation for the Department of Water Resources, State Member Unit 12, as specified. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
