                    2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION
                Assembly Bill
                    No. 1818  Introduced by Assembly Member Ortega (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Kalra)       February 10, 2026  An act to amend Section 3572 of the Government Code, relating to the California State University.       LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST     AB 1818, Ortega.
                          California State University: employer-employee relations: meeting and conferring.     Existing law grants to higher education employees the right to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations for purposes of representation on all matters of employer-employee relations and for the purpose of meeting and conferring.   Existing law, for the California State University, prohibits written memoranda reached that require budgetary or curative action by the Legislature or other agencies from being effective unless that action has been taken, and requires an appropriate request for financing or budgetary funding for all state-funded employees or for necessary legislation to be forwarded to the Legislature and the Governor or other funding agencies. Existing law requires the entire
			 memorandum to be referred back to the parties for further meeting and conferring when the memorandum requires legislative action and the Legislature or the Governor fails to fully fund the memorandum or take the requisite curative action, except as specified.  This bill would require the above-described determination of whether a memorandum
			 requires
			 legislative action and the Legislature or the Governor fails to fully fund the memorandum or take the requisite curative action to be made by the Public Employment Relations Board by written notification to the parties.     Digest Key
      Vote:
       MAJORITY   
      Appropriation:
       NO   
      Fiscal Committee:
       YES   
      Local Program:
       NO        Bill Text     The people of the State of California do enact as follows:      SECTION 1.  Section 3572 of the Government Code is amended to read:       3572.  This section shall apply only to the California State University.  (a) The duty to meet and confer in good faith requires the parties to begin negotiations before the adoption of the final budget for the ensuing year sufficiently in advance of the adoption date so that there is adequate time for agreement to be reached, or for the resolution of an impasse. The California State University shall maintain close liaison with the Department of Finance and the Legislature relative to the meeting and conferring on provisions of the
						written memoranda that have fiscal ramifications. The Governor shall appoint one representative to attend the meeting and conferring, including the impasse procedure, to advise the parties on the views of the Governor on matters that would require an appropriation or legislative action, and the Speaker of the Assembly and the Senate Committee on Rules may each appoint one representative to attend the meeting and conferring to advise the parties on the views of the Legislature on matters that would require an appropriation or legislative action.  (b) No written memoranda reached pursuant to this chapter that require budgetary or curative action by the Legislature or other funding agencies shall be effective unless and until that action has been taken. Following execution of written memoranda of understanding, an appropriate request for financing
						or budgetary funding for all state-funded employees or for necessary legislation shall be forwarded promptly to the Legislature and the Governor or other funding agencies. When
						a memorandum requires legislative action pursuant to this section, if the Legislature or the Governor
						fails to fully fund the memorandum or to take the requisite curative action, as determined by written notification from the board to the parties, the entire memorandum shall be referred back to the parties for further meeting and conferring unless the parties agree that provisions of the
						memorandum that are nonbudgetary and do not require funding shall take effect whether or not the funding requests submitted to the Legislature are approved.
