2007 California Government Code Article 3. Layoff Reemployment

CA Codes (gov:19998-19998.1)

19998.  (a) It is the policy of the state that when an employee is
to be separated from state service because the tasks he or she was
assigned are to be eliminated or substantially changed due to
management-initiated changes, including but not limited to automation
or other technological changes, steps should be taken on an
interdepartmental basis to assist such employee in locating,
preparing to qualify for, and being placed in other positions in the
state civil service.  This provision shall not be construed to
restrict the authority of the executive branch or the Legislature to
effect economies or make organizational or other changes to increase
efficiency in state government.
   (b) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to
Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling
without further legislative action, except that if such provisions of
a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the
provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the
Legislature in the annual Budget Act.



19998.1.  (a) The department may temporarily restrict the choice of
methods of appointment available to an appointing power if such
restriction is deemed necessary in the placement in other state civil
service positions of employees whose positions have been or are
about to be changed substantially or eliminated by such
management-initiated changes.
   (b) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the
provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to
Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling
without further legislative action, except that if such provisions of
a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the
provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the
Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
