AI Summary
This bill extends collective bargaining rights to employees of the legislative branch of state government, including employees of various legislative committees and agencies. The bill defines the matters subject to bargaining, such as wages and working conditions, and establishes procedures for negotiating collective bargaining agreements and submitting funding requests to the legislature. The bill also creates a joint committee on employment relations to consult with the governor and higher education institutions on collective bargaining matters, but excludes the legislative branch from this committee's oversight. Overall, the bill aims to bring collective bargaining rights to legislative branch employees that are similar to those of other state government employees.
