Effective January 1, 2000, the parties agree to extend health, dental and vision benefits to the domestic partners, as defined pursuant to Assembly Bill 26, of eligible employees in the CSU bargaining units. The parties further agree that the registration of domestic partners of represented CSU employees, and all other procedures and conditions required to receive health benefits, as currently set forth in PERS Circular Letter 600-18, shall also apply to the receipt of dental and vision benefits.
It is further understood and agreed that the parties to this agreement do not intend to waive, and do not waive, their individual and/or collective rights to challenge, including in a court of competent jurisdiction, the propriety and/or legality of PERS regulations as set forth in PERS Circular Letter 600-18. If said PERS regulations are revised, Circular Letter 600-18 regulations as amended will control the implementation of health, dental and vision benefits for the domestic partners of represented CSU eligible employees. Any such changes involving mandatory bargaining subjects under HEERA shall be subject to negotiation upon 30 day notice by a party to this agreement.
