Bill > AB1714

This bill enacts the Excluded Employee Arbitration Act, which allows employee organizations representing state excluded employees (managerial, confidential, supervisory, and other specified employees) to request binding arbitration of grievances that have not been resolved to the organization's satisfaction through the existing grievance procedure. The bill establishes a standing panel of arbitrators, outlines the process for selecting an arbitrator, and requires the arbitrator's decision to be legally binding. The bill also grants parties the right to have a certified shorthand reporter transcribe the arbitration proceedings, and prohibits the costs of arbitration from being passed on to the excluded employee. The provisions of the bill are set to expire on January 1, 2028.
