Bill > AB2151

This bill, amending Section 19572 of the Government Code, aims to change the grounds for disciplinary action against state employees by requiring that any conduct leading to discipline must be reasonably related to the employee's fitness, qualifications, or ability to perform their job duties, unless otherwise specified by law. This means that actions taken against an employee for reasons like inefficiency, insubordination, or dishonesty would need to demonstrate a clear link to their job performance. The bill also clarifies that these new provisions do not reduce any existing protections for employees provided by laws, regulations, or collective bargaining agreements, often referred to as Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs).
