What’s in it
AI summary Right now, the state holds elections to decide if a group of public employees should keep their current union before their contract ends. This new law would change that so elections only happen if a new one hasn't been held since the union was first officially recognized. This means some groups might not have to vote to stay with their union as often.1
Read the official explanation
Current law provides that the public employment relations board shall conduct a retention and certification election prior to the expiration of a public employee collective bargaining unit’s collective bargaining agreement. This bill provides that the board shall only conduct a retention and certification election for a collective bargaining unit if the board has not previously conducted such an election since the collective bargaining representative for that collective bargaining unit was certified.
