Bill Summary
An act to add Chapter 12.5 (commencing with Section 3599.50) to Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to the Legislature.
AI Summary
This bill enacts the Legislature Employer-Employee Relations Act, which provides employees of the California Legislature, except for certain excluded categories like members of the Legislature and department/office leaders, the right to form and join employee organizations for the purpose of representation on matters of employer-employee relations.
The bill defines the rights, duties, and prohibitions in this context, which parallel those in the existing Ralph C. Dills Act that governs collective bargaining between the state and recognized state public employee organizations. The bill grants the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) jurisdiction to determine appropriate bargaining units and address unfair labor practices, with the limitation that PERB cannot issue decisions that interfere with the Legislature's core lawmaking functions. The bill also outlines the meet and confer process between the employer (the Assembly or Senate Rules Committees) and recognized employee organizations, and provides for mediation and impasse procedures. Additionally, the bill exempts certain legislative records related to the collective bargaining process from public disclosure.
