. (a) The department shall establish and adjust salary ranges
for each class of position in the state civil service subject to any
merit limits contained in Article VII of the California Constitution.

adjustments that require expenditures in excess of existing
appropriations that may be used for salary increase purposes. The
department may make a change in salary range retroactive to the date
of application of this change.

(d) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
