§ 103406. — 103406. (Added by Stats. 1974, Ch. 502.)

In the event the district and the representatives of the employees do not agree to submit any dispute to arbitration as provided in Section 103405, the State Conciliation Service may be notified by either party that a dispute exists and there is no agreement to arbitrate.
Following such notification, the State Conciliation Service shall determine whether or not the dispute may be resolved by the parties and, if not, the issues concerning which the dispute exists. Upon such determination, the service shall certify its findings to the Governor of the State of California. The Governor shall, within 10 days of receipt of
certification, appoint a factfinding commission consisting of three persons.
The commission shall immediately convene and inquire into and investigate the issues in the dispute. The commission shall have authority to issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and subpoenas duces tecum for the production of books, documents, and other records. Subpoenas shall be served and enforced in accordance with Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 1985), Title 3, Part 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The commission shall report to the Governor within 30 days of the date of its creation.
After the creation of such a commission, and for 30 days after such commission has made its report to the Governor, no change, except by mutual agreement, shall be made by the parties to the controversy in the conditions out of which the dispute arose, and service to the public shall be provided.
