102.00000 – PERB: OPERATION, JURISDICTION, AUTHORITY; SCOPE OF PERB JURISDICTION
102.01000 – In General/Exclusive Initial Jurisdiction-Deferral to Arbitration; Deference by Reviewing Courts

Implicitly contained within the authority to determine whether a factfinding request is sufficient is the jurisdiction to assess whether the request is properly before the Board, i.e., whether the conditions precedent to a valid request for factfinding exist. Just as courts have jurisdiction to determine the scope of their jurisdiction, PERB necessarily has jurisdiction to determine whether the provisions of MMBA section 3505.4 apply to a particular factfinding request.
