	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2180, Alejo. Local health care districts: employment contracts.

   The Local Health Care District Law authorizes the organization and
management of local hospital districts. That law authorizes the
board of supervisors of a local hospital district to establish,
maintain, and operate, or provide assistance in the operation of, one
or more health facilities or health services, including, but not
limited to, retirement programs, services, and facilities. Existing
law authorizes a local health care district to enter into a written
employment contract with a hospital administrator.
   This bill would require a hospital administrator employment
agreement to include specified employment information.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 32121.6 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   32121.6.  If a health care district enters into a written
employment agreement with a hospital administrator, including a
hospital administrator who is designated as a chief executive
officer, the written employment agreement shall include all material
terms and conditions agreed to between the district and the hospital
administrator regarding compensation, deferred compensation,
retirement benefits, severance or continuing compensation after
termination of the agreement, vacation pay and other paid time off
for illness or personal reasons, and other employment benefits that
differ from those available to other full-time employees.
