What’s in it

AI summary Currently, rules for what public employees can negotiate must be interpreted in a very strict and narrow way. This bill removes that requirement for new negotiations starting after the law takes effect. It changes how people decide which topics can be discussed during contract talks.1

Read the official explanation

This bill strikes language providing that mandatory subjects of negotiation in public employee collective bargaining shall be interpreted narrowly and restrictively.
