AI Summary
This bill empowers administrative law judges of the Office of Administrative Hearings to collectively bargain, with some exceptions. It reenacts and amends existing laws to include administrative law judges as "employees" who can participate in collective bargaining under the state's collective bargaining act. The bill also clarifies that administrative law judges appointed under RCW 34.12.030(1) have the right to collectively bargain, subject to any collective bargaining agreement. The bill aims to address the difficulty in recruiting and retaining administrative law judges due to wage disparities compared to similar public sector positions.
