§ 3569.5. The state shall allow up to three employee representatives from each employee org

(a) The state shall allow up to three employee representatives from each employee organization which represents employees of the California State University reasonable time off during working hours without loss of compensation or other benefits, to attend and make oral presentations at meetings of the Trustees of the California State University, or a committee thereof, held during the working hours of the employees, if a matter affecting conditions of employment is scheduled for consideration. (b) Any employee organization wishing to send employee representatives to make oral presentations at such a meeting shall submit a request to the trustees far enough in advance to permit scheduling of speakers pursuant to rules and regulations of the trustees. Each employee organization shall be limited to not more than three speakers at any meeting. (c) Only employee representatives who are named in the request submitted to the trustees as employee representatives who will make an oral presentation, and who intend to make an oral presentation, shall be allowed time off as specified in subdivision (a). Other employees may attend meetings by taking vacation time, compensating time off, or time off without pay if the workload permits, when approved by their supervisor. (d) Nothing in this section shall preclude the trustees from adopting rules and regulations relating to time off for employees not represented by an employee organization to attend meetings. (e) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to this chapter, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
