California State University: employer-employee relations: meeting and conferring

The law creates a written, neutral notice process for deciding whether failed legislative or gubernatorial funding triggers renewed negotiations over an entire agreement.

What the law does ​

• Requires the Public Employment Relations Board to notify the parties in writing when a memorandum requires legislative action and is not fully funded or otherwise cured.
• Requires the full memorandum to return to meeting and conferring after that notice, unless the parties agree that nonbudgetary provisions can take effect without funding.
• Leaves funding-dependent memorandum provisions ineffective until required budgetary or other action occurs.

Who it affects ​

• California State University and its employee organizations negotiating memoranda of understanding.
• The Public Employment Relations Board, which must issue the written notification.
• The Legislature, Governor, and funding agencies considering requested funding or needed legislation.
