What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a collective bargaining unit that represents public safety

employees (law enforcement officers) may generally bargain wages, hours, and

conditions of employment. This bill prohibits public safety bargaining units that

represent law enforcement officers from bargaining the reversal of a decision by a

police chief to fire a law enforcement officer. The bill does not prohibit a fire and

police commission or police and fire commission from rehiring a law enforcement

officer who was fired.
