Bill Summary
Collective bargaining; law enforcement. Provides that no county, city, town, or like governmental officer, agent, or governing body is vested with or possesses any authority to recognize any labor union or other employee association as a bargaining agent of any law-enforcement agency or its employees, or to collectively bargain or enter into any collective bargaining contract with any such union or association or its agents with respect to any matter relating to them or their employment or service. Under current law, beginning May 1, 2021, localities will have the authority to recognize a labor union or other employee association of a law-enforcement agency or its employees and to collectively bargain with such unions or associations if such authority is provided for by local ordinance.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to prohibit counties, cities, towns, and other local government entities from recognizing labor unions or employee associations as bargaining agents for law enforcement agencies or their employees, or from collectively bargaining with such unions or associations. Under current law, localities have the authority to recognize labor unions and collectively bargain with them for public employees, including law enforcement, if authorized by a local ordinance. This bill removes that authority specifically for law enforcement.
