BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on September 22, 2024. This bill amends the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) by adding California Government Code Section 3502.3. Starting January 1, 2025, public agencies must hold a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal year and report on the following:
1. The status of vacancies;
2. Recruitment efforts; and
3. Retention strategies.
The law includes a requirement to report additional information if the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions. OC San’s vacancies are below the threshold. Therefore, the additional requirements are not applicable for this year’s annual reporting.
