Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
(a) This chapter does not apply to trial courts in Solano and Ventura Counties. Labor and employment relations for court interpreters employed by trial courts in Solano and Ventura Counties shall remain subject to the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 71600)), and nothing in this chapter shall be construed to affect the application of that act to court interpreters employed by those counties.
(b) If an interpreter employed by a trial court in a different county accepts a temporary appointment to perform services for a trial court in Solano or Ventura County, the interpreter shall be treated for purposes of compensation, employee benefits, seniority, and discipline and grievance procedures, as having performed the services in the trial court in which the interpreter is employed.
(c) If an interpreter employed by a trial court in Solano or Ventura County accepts a temporary appointment to perform services for another trial court, the interpreter shall be treated for purposes of compensation, employee benefits, seniority, and discipline and grievance procedures, as having performed the services in the trial court in which the interpreter is employed.
(d) This chapter also does not apply to court interpreters who have been continuously employed by a trial court in any county beginning prior to September 1, 2002, and who are covered by a memorandum of understanding or agreement entered into pursuant to the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 71600)), and to future employees hired in the same positions as replacements for those employees unless the position has remained vacant for one year or more. For any other certified or registered interpreters hired by trial courts as employees prior to December 31, 2002, the trial courts may not change existing job classifications and may not reduce their wages and benefits during the regional transition period or during the term of an existing contract, whichever is longer.
(e) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2025.
