Bill > SB00319

This bill aims to require municipal arbitration cases to conclude within a six-month time frame from the commencement of the proceedings. The key provisions include: setting timelines for various stages of the arbitration process, such as filing proposed agreements and replies, submitting last best offers and briefs, and issuing the final arbitration decision; allowing the parties to jointly file stipulations to modify the deadlines by up to 90 days; and specifying the criteria the arbitration panel must consider in reaching its decision, such as the public interest, the municipal employer's financial capability, and developments in private sector wages and benefits.
