Bill > AB140

This bill addresses several key provisions related to State Bargaining Unit 6 for state employees. It approves a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the state employer and Bargaining Unit 6, which will be effective from July 3, 2025, to July 2, 2028. The bill introduces a new Personal Leave Program 2025 (PLP 2025) for Bargaining Unit 6 employees, where workers will receive a 3% pay reduction in exchange for 5 hours of leave credits per month (with slight variations for fire captains). The bill also suspends the employer's monthly contribution for prefunding retiree health care for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 fiscal years, while employees will continue to contribute. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for continuous appropriation of funds if the Budget Act is not enacted by July 1 in the relevant fiscal years, ensuring state employees in Bargaining Unit 6 can continue to be compensated. The legislation also reduces specific Budget Act item appropriations by $120,242,000, primarily from the General Fund, in accordance with the agreement between the state employer and Bargaining Unit 6. The bill is designed to take effect immediately and is considered part of the budget-related legislation.
