AI Summary
This bill amends existing state law to allow collective bargaining over contributions for certain supplemental retirement benefits, specifically for employees of the department of corrections. Previously, retirement plans and benefits were generally excluded from collective bargaining, with some exceptions for health care benefits. This legislation clarifies that "health care benefits" does not include these supplemental retirement benefits and explicitly makes contributions for supplemental retirement benefits a mandatory subject of bargaining for department of corrections employees, though these specific contributions are excluded from interest arbitration, a process used to resolve impasses in negotiations.
