Bill > SB0791

This bill amends the Public Employment Relations Act (PERA) of 1947 by modifying the definition of "public employee" and other related provisions. Key changes include: (1) specifying that graduate student research assistants and individuals designated by the legislature for collective bargaining purposes are considered public employees, while individuals employed by private organizations under a contract with the state or a political subdivision are not; (2) clarifying that public employees have the right to express grievances or opinions related to their employment, as long as it does not interfere with their job duties; and (3) maintaining existing provisions around election requirements for collective bargaining units and the validity of collective bargaining agreements.
