TO: | Honorable Garnet Coleman, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2673 by Davis, Yvonne (Relating to conditions of employment for an employee of certain sheriff's departments.), As Introduced |
The bill would add Subchapter C to Chapter 158, Local Government Code, to authorize in certain counties that the county and an association representing employees of the sheriff's office may establish a meet and confer agreement .
The bill sets forth the procedures for establishing, and those for repealing, an agreement between a
county and an employee association and specifies that a county may not be denied local control over
wages, salaries, rates of pay, hours of work, other terms and conditions of employment, or other state mandated personnel issues.
A state district court of a judicial district in which the county is located would have jurisdiction to hear and resolve a dispute under the ratified agreement.
