Summary
AB 1510, as introduced, Committee on Public Employment and Retirement. State employees: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority: employee relations. Existing law requires the state to provide certain benefits and compensation to a state employee who, who as a member of the California National Guard or a United States military reserve organization, is called into active duty as a result of the Bosnia crisis on or after November 21, 1995. Existing law also requires the state to provide certain benefits to a state employee who, as a member of the California National Guard or United States military reserve organization, is ordered to active duty on and after September 11, 2001, as a result of the War on Terrorism. Existing law requires the state to reimburse the cost of insurance premiums for certain state employees for the period of time on active duty, not to exceed 365 calendar days.This bill would repeal the provisions requiring the state to provide benefits and compensation for a state employee called into active duty as a result of the Bosnia crisis. The bill would increase the maximum number of calendar days for reimbursement for the cost of the insurance premium to 730 cumulative calendar days.Existing law, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Act, establishes the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority with various powers and duties relative to transportation projects and services and the operation of public transit in the County of Santa Clara.Existing law establishes the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) in state government as a means of resolving disputes and enforcing the statutory duties and rights of specified public employers and employees under various acts regulating collective bargaining, including the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. Existing law vests PERB with jurisdiction to enforce certain provisions related to the authority’s employees, over charges of unfair practices for represented authority employees, subject to a selection by an exclusive representative. Existing law, in the case of such a selection, gives PERB jurisdiction over the initial determination as to whether those charges are justified and, if so, the appropriate remedy, subject to certain restrictions.This bill would authorize any charging party, respondent, or intervenor aggrieved by a final decision or order of PERB in an unfair practice case, except a decision of PERB not to issue a complaint in such a case, to petition for a writ of extraordinary relief from that decision or order, as specified. The bill, if the time to petition for extraordinary relief from a PERB decision or order has expired, would authorize PERB to seek enforcement of any final decision or order in a district court of appeal or superior court having jurisdiction over the county where the events giving rise to the decision or order occurred, as specified.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the authority.
