. (a) Every person accepts and holds a position in the state
civil service subject to mandatory reinstatement of another person.
(b) Upon reinstatement of a person any necessary separations are
effected under the provisions of Section 19997.3 governing layoff and
demotion except that (1) an employee who is not to be separated from
state service need not receive advance notification as provided in
Section 19997.13, and (2) seniority may not be counted as provided in
Section 19997.3 when this would result in the layoff of the person
who has the reinstatement right. Under that circumstance, qualifying
service in classes at substantially the same or higher salary level
is the only state service that may be counted for purposes of
determining who is to be separated.
