19994.2. (a) When there are two or more employees in a class and an involuntary transfer is required to a position in the same class, or an appropriate class as designated by the State Personnel Board, in a location that reasonably requires an employee to change his or her place of residence, the department may determine the methods by which employees in the class or classes involved are to be selected for transfer. These methods may include seniority and other considerations.
(b) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, 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.
