AI Summary

This bill modifies the Public Employee Collective Bargaining Act (PECBA) by establishing new penalties for public employers who fail to comply with specific requirements. The bill introduces a graduated penalty system for violations related to providing employee information and processing labor organization deductions. For a first violation, the Employment Relations Board will issue a written notice with a 30-day correction period. A second violation triggers a $5,000 penalty, and a third or subsequent violation results in a $10,000 penalty. Each failure to correct a violation within the specified timeframe is considered a separate violation. The bill also allows labor organizations to file civil actions against public employers for failing to provide timely employee information or remit authorized payroll deductions. Penalties collected will be deposited in the Employment Relations Board Administrative Account. The legislation aims to strengthen enforcement mechanisms in public sector labor relations by creating clearer consequences for non-compliance and ensuring that labor organizations can more effectively represent their members. Key terms like "exclusive representative" refer to the labor union authorized to negotiate on behalf of a specific group of public employees.
