Local public employees: memoranda of understanding.

Summary

Starting Jan. 1, 2026, any agreement between a city, county or other local agency and a recognized employee organization must contain a progressive‑discipline system that guarantees due process, a grievance process ending in binding arbitration, and paid time off for employee representatives. The bill also makes it a violation of the state’s labor‑relations law if an agency refuses to include these provisions, and it bars state reimbursement for the costs of compliance.
