IN RE: | HB3160 by Capelo (Relating to collective bargaining by employees of local governments.), As Introduced |
The bill would authorize political subdivisions to recognize a labor organization as the bargaining agent for a group of public employees for the purposes of entering into a collective bargaining contract. The bill would take effect immediately if it were to receive a two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2003.
Under current statute, collective bargaining by public employees is prohibited.
