When both parties mutually agree upon a mediator, costs of mediation shall be divided one-half to the state and one-half to the certified provider organization. A memorandum of understanding reached by means of mediation is subject to appropriation by the Legislature and necessary statutory revisions.(c) After the mediation procedure has been exhausted, and no resolution has been reached by the parties, the Governor, or the Governor’s representative, may declare an impasse and implement any or all of its last, best, and final offer. Any proposal in the Governor’s, or the Governor’s representative, last, best, and final offer that, if implemented, would conflict with existing statutes or require the expenditure of funds, shall be presented to the Legislature for approval. Implementation of the last, best, and final offer does not relieve the parties of the obligation to bargain in good faith and reach an agreement on a memorandum of understanding if circumstances change, and does not waive rights that the certified provider organization has under this chapter.(Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 116, Sec. 260.
