	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 952, as amended, Alquist. Public postsecondary education:
employee compensation.
   Existing law establishes the California State University, under
the administration of the Trustees of the California State
University, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education
in the state.
   This bill would prohibit, from  July   August
 1, 2012, to June 30, 2014, inclusive, the Trustees of the
California State University from entering into, or renewing, a
contract that provides for a compensation increase for a California
State University employee whose annual salary exceeds $200,000 from
General Fund sources, as defined, in the fiscal year during which the
contract is executed, relative to the immediately prior contract for
that same position.
   The bill would prohibit, on or after July 1, 2014, and until July
1, 2018, the trustees from entering into, or renewing, a contract
that provides for a compensation increase of more than 10% for a
California State University employee whose annual salary exceeds
$200,000 from General Fund sources in the fiscal year during which
the contract is executed, relative to the immediately prior contract
for that position.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 89517.5 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   89517.5.  (a) From  July   August  1,
2012, to June 30, 2014, inclusive, the Trustees of the California
State University shall not enter into, or renew, a contract that
provides for a compensation increase for a California State
University employee whose annual salary exceeds two hundred thousand
dollars ($200,000) from General Fund sources in the fiscal year
during which the contract is executed, relative to the immediately
prior contract for that same position.
   (b) On or after July 1, 2014, the trustees shall not enter into,
or renew, a contract that provides for a compensation increase of
more than 10 percent for a California State University employee whose
annual salary exceeds two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) from
General Fund sources in the fiscal year during which the contract is
executed, relative to the immediately prior contract for that
position.
   (c) For purposes of this section, "General Fund sources" includes
appropriations from the General Fund and student fee revenues.
   (d) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2018, and, as
of January 1, 2019, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute,
that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2019, deletes or
extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to respond to and alleviate the effects of the state's
current fiscal crisis and the resulting additional budget cuts and
tuition increases for the California State University, it is
necessary for this act to take effect immediately.
