Legislation granting United collective bargaining rights to about 100000 state employees was sent to Governor Brown after a 24 to 8 Senate vote approving Assembly amendments. The bill creates a Public Employment Relations Board to form bargaining units and requires legislative approval of any agreement, with mediation allowed but no binding arbitration or right to strike.

Antismoking petition cleared to circulate in California
Backers of a proposed initiative to limit smoking in enclosed areas can circulate petitions after Attorney General Evelle Younger approved a summary and title Regulation of Smoking. The measure would ban smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces with exemptions, require nonsmoking sections in restaurants, prohibit employment discrimination, allow stricter local rules, and mandate posted signs with penalties. Estimated sign costs reach 600 000, offset by fines and potential health savings, while tax receipts may decline.
