Bill Summary
An Act relating to school employee organizations; prohibiting certain existing organizations from continuing to represent certain employees; requiring a school district board of education to direct certain election to certify the existing organization; directing the board of education to determine how the election shall be conducted; authorizing the board of education to establish a fee schedule to fund the election; providing for decertification of an organization if it fails to receive a sufficient number of votes; providing for continuation of certain terms of certain contract if an organization is decertified; allowing school district employees to certify a new employee organization under certain circumstances; requiring elections to be held during certain time frame; providing for application of provisions; providing for codification; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits existing school employee organizations from continuing to represent certain employees after December 31, 2023, unless they retain majority support through a secret ballot election conducted by the school district board of education. The board is required to hold these elections every odd-numbered year between August 1 and December 1. If an organization loses majority support, the board will no longer recognize it, but the terms of any pre-existing contract will continue except for provisions involving the organization. The bill also allows school district employees to certify a new organization, though it cannot be substantially similar to or affiliated with the one that lost recognition for 12 months. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2022 and is declared an emergency.
