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.
