19791. As used in this chapter, the following definitions apply:(a) 'Equal employment opportunity' mean ensuring nondiscrimination and providing equal access to state jobs, work assignments, training, and other employment-related opportunities for all qualified job applicants and employees.(b) 'Underutilization' means having a statistically significant, smaller percentage of persons of a group in an occupation or at a level in a state agency than would reasonably be expected by their percentage representation in the relevant labor force. An identified underutilization is not necessarily indicative of a denial of equal employment opportunity, but warrants an analysis of the cause of the underutilization.(Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 644, Sec. 3. Effective January 1, 2006.)
