Bill overview
This bill makes changes to how local government employees, specifically teachers in school districts, handle collective bargaining negotiations. It establishes additional procedures for submitting unresolved issues to binding arbitration, particularly when a school district’s contract is nearing expiration. The bill also prohibits school districts from requiring teachers to work more hours than specified in expired contracts and clarifies penalties for illegal strikes involving teachers, excluding those related to concerted teacher activity outside of district-wide strikes. It also defines ‘teacher’ for the purposes of collective bargaining.
