California State University: personal services contracting.

Existing provisions of the State Civil Service Act establish standards for the use of personal services contracts by state agencies. An existing provision of the California Constitution excludes the officers and employees of the California State University from the state civil service. Existing law authorizes the Trustees of the California State University to enter into agreements with public or private agencies, persons, officers, institutions, corporations, associations, or foundations for the performance of acts or for the furnishing of services, facilities, materials, goods, supplies, or equipment by or for the trustees or for the joint performance of an act or function or the joint furnishing of services and facilities by the trustees and the other party to the agreement. This bill would establish standards for personal services contracts, similar to those of the State Civil Service Act, that would be applicable to the California State University. The bill would require the State Personnel Board to be notified of any proposed or executed personal services contract, and would require the board, upon request of an employee organization, to review and disapprove a contract that does not meet those standards.
