Bill > AB138

This bill addresses various aspects of state employment and bargaining units in California, focusing on several key provisions. The bill approves agreements entered into by the state employer and multiple state bargaining units, covering compensation, employee contributions, and benefits for fiscal years 2025-2028. Specifically, it implements a Personal Leave Program 2025 (PLP 2025) for employees in bargaining units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21, which involves a reduction in pay (not exceeding certain percentages) in exchange for leave credits. The bill also suspends and modifies employee and employer contributions for prefunding retiree health care for various bargaining units during the 2025-26 and 2026-27 fiscal years. Additionally, it adjusts normal contribution rates for retirement systems, particularly for state miscellaneous, industrial, and safety members in different bargaining units. The bill ensures that provisions requiring expenditure of funds will not take effect unless specifically appropriated by the Legislature, and it allows for potential renegotiation if funds are not appropriated. The legislation is designed to provide flexibility in state employee compensation and benefits while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
