"Sec. 12. (Effective from passage) (a) Any agreement reached through negotiations between the state and the State Employees Bargaining Unit Coalition (SEBAC) concerning wages, hours and other conditions of employment to achieve the labor-management savings specified in this act shall be filed with the General Assembly in accordance with section 5-278 of the general statutes and Rule 31 of the Joint Rules of this session, except as provided in this subsection. The General Assembly shall approve such agreement as a whole by a majority vote of each house or reject such agreement as a whole by a majority vote of either house before the adjournment of the current regular session. If the General Assembly fails to vote, such agreement shall not be deemed approved.

(b) (1) On or before May 31, 2011, the Governor shall submit the plan described in this subdivision in writing to the General Assembly. If an agreement described in subsection (a) of this section has been reached, such plan shall include (A) recommendations for legislation to apply terms comparable to those contained in such agreement to nonrepresented employees for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, and June 30, 2013, and (B) if such agreement achieves less than two billion dollars in savings over the biennium ending June 30, 2013, recommendations for reductions in expenditures to achieve the difference between that amount and two billion dollars. If no agreement described in subsection (a) of this section has been reached, such plan shall include recommendations for reductions in expenditures not to exceed two billion dollars over the biennium ending June 30, 2013.

(2) On or before June 8, 2011, the General Assembly shall enact legislation to (A) apply terms comparable to those contained in an agreement described in subsection (a) of this section and approved in accordance with this section to nonrepresented employees for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, and June 30, 2013, and (B) achieve reductions in expenditures not to exceed two billion dollars over the biennium ending June 30, 2013, to the extent such savings have not been achieved under any such agreement.

(c) The Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management shall make reductions in expenditures not to exceed two billion dollars over the biennium ending June 30, 2013, (1) as provided in an agreement described in subsection (a) of this section and approved in accordance with this section for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, and June 30, 2013, and (2) contained in legislation enacted by the General Assembly under subdivision (2) of subsection (b) of this section.
