What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows employees of the Department of Corrections to collectively

bargain over workplace safety for the employees. Current law limits a person who

is employed by the state who is not a police officer or fire fighter from collectively

bargaining with the state over any issue except a percentage increase in base wages

that does not exceed the percentage change in the consumer price index.
