Section 3572.3 - Duty to meet and confer applicable to University of California(a) This section shall apply only to the University of California.(b) The duty to engage in meeting and conferring requires the parties to begin meeting and conferring at least 60 days before the expiration of memoranda of understanding, or the May 1, if earlier, of any year in which a memorandum shall expire, or May 1, if there is no existing memorandum. The University of California and the college named in Section 92200 of the Education Code shall maintain close liaison with the Department of Finance and the Legislature relative to the meeting and conferring on provisions of the written memoranda which have fiscal ramifications.(c) Written memoranda reached pursuant to the provisions of this chapter that require budgetary or curative action by the Legislature or other funding agencies shall not be effective unless and until such an action has been taken. Following execution of written memoranda of understanding, an appropriate request for financing or budgetary funding in the aggregate for all state-funded employees or for necessary legislation will be forwarded promptly to the Legislature and the Governor or other funding agencies. When memoranda require legislative action pursuant to this section, if the Legislature or the Governor fail to fully fund the memoranda or to take the requisite curative action, the entire memoranda shall be referred back to the parties for further meeting and conferring; provided, however, that the parties may agree that provisions of the memoranda that are nonbudgetary and do not require funding shall take effect whether or not the aggregate funding requests submitted to the Legislature are approved. The Legislature recognizes that the University of California's sources of funding are multiple and approval by the Legislature, and by other public agencies, as to employees funded by those agencies, may be required before implementation of increased expenditures resulting from agreements reached in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.Amended by Stats 2022 ch 478 (AB 1936),s 52, eff. 1/1/2023.Added by Stats. 1978, Ch. 744.
