BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561), which amended the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) in January 2025 by adding California Government Code Section 3502.3, requires public agencies to conduct an annual public hearing before their governing body regarding:
1. The status of vacancies;
2. Recruitment efforts; and
3. Retention strategies.
The law also requires additional reporting when vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of the total authorized full-time positions. For the current fiscal year, Orange County Sanitation District is below the threshold and is not subject to additional reporting requirements.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Comply with California Government Code Section 3502.3
