Bill > HB1307

This bill aims to extend collective bargaining rights to resident and fellow physicians employed by medical schools operated by institutions of higher education. It establishes a process for the selection of an interest arbitration panel to resolve disputes if the parties are unable to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. The bill also emphasizes the importance of uninterrupted medical services provided by these physicians and sets guidelines for the arbitration panel to consider, such as the financial ability of the institution, comparison of employment terms with similar public hospital residency programs, and the intention to recruit and retain a diverse pool of physicians.
