What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, there are three categories of subjects of collective

bargaining under the Municipal Employment Relations Act (MERA). A mandatory

subject of bargaining is one primarily related to wages, hours, and conditions of

employment; the employer is required to bargain over this subject. A permissive

subject of bargaining is one primarily related to the management and direction of the

municipal employer; an employer may, but need not, bargain over this subject. A

prohibited subject of bargaining is one that would violate a law; there may be no

bargaining over such a subject.

This bill creates a new mandatory subject of collective bargaining under MERA

in school districts. Under the bill, in a school district, the employer is required to

bargain collectively with respect to time spent during the school day, separate from

pupil contact time, to prepare lessons, labs, or educational materials, to confer or

collaborate with other staff, or to complete administrative duties.
