Chapter 6. Training

19995.  (a) The department shall devise plans for and cooperate with
appointing powers and other supervising officials in the conduct of
employee training programs so that the quality of service rendered by
persons in the state civil service may be continually improved.
   (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.



19995.1.  For the purpose of meeting the needs of the state service
for continuing employee educational development, the upgrading of
employee skills, and improving productivity and quality service, the
department may prescribe regulations and conditions for the
administration of this chapter. The conditions prescribed by the
department may include, but not be limited to, the requirements that
the training shall be cost-effective, of value to the state, and
relevant to the employee's career development in state service. The
department may further prescribe the conditions under which an
employee may be required to reimburse the state for the costs of
out-service training in the event he or she fails to remain in state
service for a reasonable time after receiving the training.
   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 the 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.



19995.2.  (a) To such extent as practicable and within available
resources for this purpose, the appointing power shall arrange for
such counseling and training of employees as may be reasonably needed
to prepare them for placement in other state civil service positions
when their positions have been or are about to be changed
substantially or eliminated by automation, technological changes, or
other management-initiated changes and the department shall devise
plans for and cooperate with appointing powers and other supervising
officials in the administration of counseling, training, and
placement programs for employees so affected.
   (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.



19995.3.  (a) The department and the Department of Rehabilitation
shall jointly formulate procedures for the selection and orderly
referral of disabled state employees who can be benefited by
rehabilitation services and might be retrained for other appropriate
positions within the state service. The Department of Rehabilitation
shall cooperate in devising training programs for the disabled
employees.
   (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.



19995.4.  (a) The department shall devise plans for, and cooperate
with appointing powers in the conduct of, supervisorial employee
training programs so that the quality of supervisorial services
rendered by persons in those positions may be continually improved.
   (b) Each supervisorial employee, upon the employee's initial
appointment to a designated supervisory position, shall be provided a
minimum of 80 hours of training, at least 40 hours of which shall be
structured and be provided by a qualified instructor. The training
shall consist of the role of the supervisor, techniques of
supervision, planning, organizing, staffing and controlling,
performance standards, performance appraisal, affirmative action,
discipline, labor relations, employment law relating to persons with
disabilities, and grievances. Every supervisor shall have access to a
copy of each bargaining agreement covering the employees he or she
supervises. The additional 40 hours of training may be provided
on-the-job by a qualified higher level supervisor or manager.
   (c) The entire 80 hours of training shall be completed within the
term of the probationary period or within 12 months of appointment to
a supervisorial classification. The training shall be completed
within the term of the probationary period unless it is demonstrated
that to do so creates additional costs or that the training cannot be
completed during the probationary period due to the limited
availability of training courses.



19995.5.  (a) There is hereby created in the State Treasury, the
State Employee Scholarship Fund to which funds shall be allocated
from the amount negotiated in memoranda of understanding between the
state and recognized employee organizations, as defined in Section
3513, and appropriated by the Legislature for the 2000-01 fiscal

   (b) The fund shall be used to establish a program for career
advancement to assist eligible state employees to participate in
educational programs that will enhance the personal growth and career
development of employees in state government.
   (c) The fund shall be administered by the Department of Personnel
Administration. The amounts to be allocated and expended from funds
available for compensation shall be determined by the department.
   (d) Notwithstanding Section 13340, moneys in the fund shall be
available for expenditure without regard to fiscal years through June
30, 2001. As of June 30, 2001, the fund shall cease to exist unless
