The Governor has signed AB 355 which adds the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to PERB’s jurisdiction. Last year Governor Brown vetoed AB 2886 which would have added the OCTA and the San Joaquin Regional Transit District to PERB’s jurisdiction. In his veto message, Governor Brown noted that PERB’s jurisdiction has steadily increased over the years while its funding has not. According to Governor Brown, until PERB is able to handle its workload its jurisdiction should not be further expanded.
Now that Governor Newsom has signed AB 355 it will be interesting to see whether other transit agencies will also seek to be added to PERB’s jurisdiction.
