The proposal ratifies the collective bargaining contract for state employees in the professional legal collective bargaining unit negotiated for the 2022-23 fiscal year under the State Employment Labor Relations Act. Currently, statutory program supplement appropriations fund the costs of collective bargaining agreements to the extent that they exceed budgeted costs. The proposal authorizes expenditure of moneys from those appropriations to fund the cost of this agreement.
